[windows] meteor cant connect to Mongo anymore since 1.7

Hey Forum,

I am having an odd problem I cant figure out.

Since I updated to meteor 1.7 my app can’t connect to Mongo anymore. If I create a new app with meteor create it can connect. As soon as I copy my code into the new app’s folder it can’t connect anymore. I make sure of only copy and pasting my code, no NPM modules, then re-install all modules with meteor npm install

here is my pre 1.7 package.json

{
  "name": "things",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "meteor --settings settings.json"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@babel/runtime": "^7.0.0-beta.44",
    "babel-runtime": "^6.26.0",
    "bcrypt": "^1.0.3",
    "bootstrap": "^4.1.0",
    "jquery": "^3.3.1",
    "meteor-node-stubs": "^0.3.2",
    "popper.js": "^1.14.3",
    "simpl-schema": "^1.3.0"
  }
}

settings.json only has an embedly key… nothing else.

Obviously this means there is something in my code… but I never assigned another port or something fancy. So I ripped out NPM modules I am using one after another to see whether the error is there but still no luck.I am quite stuck!
