Description

**Describe the bug**
When opening specter today on windows i got this issue once(see screenshot),otherwise specter running fine, all functions seem to work afterwards....was asked by telegram admin to post issue here, so i won't be lost.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Open Specter app, logging in with password, no further steps ( i connect via tailscale to umbrel node with bitcoin core rcp connection), yesterday i altered tailscaile vpn connection ip address and changed that in specter as well, afterwards connection tested sucessfully. Closed app. Restarted today--then this error

- Where is your node running: [umbrel, specter running on local pc instance, connecting to bitcoin core on umbrel rcp via tailscale vpn address]
- Where is your specter running: [windows binary]
- If you're running a binary, which OS: [Windows]
- Browser [chrome]
- Specter Version [1.10.5]

**Additional context**
Haven't logged in for a view weeks( made like 15 transactions outside specter in that period), so then specter yesterday failed to load wallets(I have ca. 15 wallets) initially, after 5 minutes wallets where restored though without me doing anything, also balance correct. Then shut down specter and the issue showed today after logging in again.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported Windows binary flow: open Specter, log in, and connect to the Bitcoin Core node on Umbrel through the changed Tailscale address. Compare the runtime error and startup behavior with the reported Specter 1.10.5 setup; done means the login and wallet-loading flow no longer produces the error.
