Alteryx 2024.1 Data Connections Error

Hello,

 

I am currently receiving the following error in the Connection Manager when I attempt to create a new Data Connection:

 

<Deserialization of DCM schema 'DataSource/DataSourcePlaceholder' at filesystem location 'C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\DcmSchemas\DataSources\DataSourcePlaceholder.json' has failed. Try to re-install used plugin or contact Customer Support.>

 

This error occurs when I try to create any kind of local data connection. I have tried to create a connection using file->Manage Connection, the input tool and the output tool. Every time I select a Data Source (of any kind) to join to I receive this message. This "DataSourcePlaceholder.json" file doesn't seem to exist in other Alteryx installations and I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Alteryx only for the the issue to persist. Has anyone seen this error or does anyone have any tips on researching this .json file?

 

Attached is an image of the error. It should also be noted I am running Version: 2024.1.1.49 Patch: 1
