CF2021 Administrator Setting Summary Page Error

We started using an Amazon image for CF2021 a few months ago, and this issue remains unresolved through Update 10.  However, this is my workaround: if you link to the Server Settings page directly (as opposed to letting the UI pass it through an index page with Javascript), it should load correctly.  I've set up direct browser bookmarks for my instances, and they work reliably.
The direct link: [your-IP-and-port]/CFIDE/administrator/settings/version.cfm

After the configuration is complete, and I navigate to the Administrator > Settings Summary page, I get the following error:

 

The getMachineUUID method was not found.Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the getMachineUUID method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\reports\index.cfm, line: 191

On second thoughts, this is ColdFusion's responsibility, not yours. What with

getMachineUUID

and

C:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\reports\index.cfm

So I would call it a bug.

Jojo, I've never seen that error. And when I see such odd errors, I am inclined to blame a failed cf update. Had you applied any recently? Or are these AMIs as you got them? If the latter, what update is shown, if you can look at the system info page or the updates installed page? If you did do an update, look at the install log for that update (in the hf-updates folder's subfolder for the update): does it show a count of 0 fatalerrors? 

Finally, to your comment to bkbk, I've not heard of a "community" AMI. Can you be more specific? 

GetMachineUUID() is most likely a Java call that ColdFusion makes internally when gathering properties of the Operating System. Perhaps your Operating System was busy with something else when you installed ColdFusion. Another possibility is that you installed ColdFusion when there were still remnants of a previous installation attempt on the server. 

Suggestion:

1. Uninstall ColdFusion 2021;
2. Restart the server;
3. Search and remove any remnants of the ColdFusion 2021 installation;
4. Update the server if necessary;
5.  Install ColdFusion 2021.
