Reading your answer makes me feel like a young student, taught what he did wrong. For your information, I am 65 and not the computer genius you seem to have expected here.
So I retry to ask a good question: Does anybody in the community here know by own experience why all of a sudden such error messages appear? The system works, I did noch change any parameter and suddenly this message appears, which was not there before.
So what is apache.felix.resolver looking for it does not find? Here the messages in Text format:

Sorry it was not my intention to make you feel like that.
But the bottom line is you are expected follow a couple of rules (which I linked to) and to show some more effort of your own in analyzing your problem before you ask for help - such as to search the forum for text snippets of your error message.
My “remote addons” was not meant to be the explanation of a solution but a hint how to proceed. Search the forum for that term.
Reasoning behind is that most OH installations are setup to download addon extensions on start and the dependencies with that and solution to it are a complicated matter, even more so with OH2 and on Windows, so cannot explain in a few words.
Check addons.cfg for the remote setting. Not sure where that’s located on Windoze, and it’s just a guess.
But it’s in essence the answer to your question “why does it happen all of a sudden”:
dependencies and download locations changed.
And your probably best way out of that is to upgrade to latest OH 2.5.12.
Ok, thanks. As I am remote, I will have to get to my holiday location physically to make the update.
Sooner or late I have anyway the intention to change to V 3.0.x. For that I like to have a bit more time locally, just in case. So as first step I will upgrade to 2.5.12 like in powershell like this…
cd C:\openHAB
. .\runtime\bin\update.ps1
Update-openHAB -OHVersion 2.5.12
Thank you for your help, and likewise, no bad feelings, the voluntary work is highly appreciated
As Powershell will not allow me to run scripts from a remote location I tried as quickfix to change the respective repository in the current version 2.5.6… Still gettting error messages…

I’d switch to a RPi running openHABian when you move to OH3. Superior to Windoze in particular when it’s remote, and it helps with the migration to have both available, the old and a new system.
BTW, please use code fences (3 backticks before & after).
I Have a Question for you: When you moved from Windows to OpenHABian how did you move your configutaion, the settings, the Things, Items, rules etc? Is there an instruction available in the community.
(PS: The reason I have used Windows so far, was, I have ETS for KNX on the same System and this is only available in Windows)
I never was on Windows but you should be able to create a backup with the ‘backup’ script for OH somewhere on your box, then transfer the zip file to the new box and use openhab-cli restore there.
