It seems to have to do with functions for showing checkpoint info in the right click menu for parameters in
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\ov\pkg\houdini-connector-200.0.0\houdini20.0\houdini\python3.10libs\homni\utils.py
My current workaround is to change the file extension of the file:
“C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\ov\pkg\houdini-connector-200.0.0\houdini20.0\houdini\PARMmenu.xml”
to something else to stop it from loading. Or just delete it
