I am encountering this error after reinstalling the gateway. I have tried restarting the laptop, but the issue persists. I have also attached the log file for reference.

Hi @krishanw ,
The problem you're experiencing appears to be due to an asymmetric key generation error. After looking up the documentation on the revelent issue, I think you can follow the advice in the following post.
Removing the "RSA" folder which is in the "C: \ Users \" NAME USER "\ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Crypto" path and make a backup of this folder in case you need to restore it.The appdata folder may be a hidden folder, you need to change the settings to make it visible.
("NAME USER" = user who installed and is running the gateway (personal mode))
After removing the folder, simply start the Gateway setup again.
Below is the documentation of the problems and solutions:
