Apparently... 🙃

So although I found the `node-red-contrib-amqp` reference in the `.config.nodes.json`file:

```auto
    "node-red-contrib-amqp": {
        "name": "node-red-contrib-amqp",
        "version": "1.0.2",
        "local": true,
        "user": true,
        "nodes": {
            "amqp": {
                "name": "amqp",
                "local": true,
                "user": false,
                "module": "node-red-contrib-amqp",
                "file": "\\Users\\ItayKishon\\.node-red\\node_modules\\node-red-contrib-amqp\\lib\\amqp.js"
            }
        }
    }

```

, the folder itself doesn't exist.

Removing the above reference from `.config.nodes.json` solved the issue, and the system has loaded. And may I add - with all my previous flows, as this was obviously not a completely fresh install...

Now everything is working again. I wonder - has the invalid node reference caused the loading problem?
