Error in particle-cli: cannot find module '@particle/device-constants'

Firmware Device OS
1

Well I have no idea how this happened. In Visual Studio Code I am now getting this error. One night the PC restarted and since then it has been a challenge using VSC with Particle Workbench. I have reinstalled the CLI from the link Command Line | Getting Started | Particle
My Workbench version is 1.16.10
I have restarted VSC, and the whole machine, ran "particle update" from the CLI,

The files that are referenced in the Require stack I have the first six files, the one ending in [eval] I do not see.

I noticed the last line in the error states "update in background"

VSC shows I am not logged in, and I attempt to login and get a "login failed" I reset my password to see if that helped with no luck, I am using 2FA, I can login to the Particle Console and web IDE with no issues.

Thank you for the support!

There was one thing that I had not done in all the re-installation which was deleting the two particle files. I was able to compile a simple program to one of the spare boards. Back to troubleshooting the other one!

THANK YOU!!
