How to solve my error about saving the global configuration before it is loaded in Jenkins?

I recently upgraded Jenkins from 2.204.4 to 2.332.1. In doing so, I received the following error.

java.lang.IllegalStateException: An attempt to save the global configuration was made before it was loaded

I was able to "fix" this by commenting out the and blocks in config.xml, but that had the side effect of wiping out our Active Directory settings as well as all Role Based permissions.

I saved the settings, so I was able to manually set everything back up, but now after a Jenkins reboot, I get the same error.

I noticed in the Jenkins error log it is throwing the following error for all user

After much investigation, I came across the fact that some plugins, specifically the Matrix Authorization Strategy Plugin and role-strategy-plugin were in a deadlock state where they both would not be checked under "compatible" to update, as they were dependent on each other being updated.

Being fairly knew to Jenkins, and not wanting to break things, I only updated the compatible plugins, however; I missed this deadlock type issue.

Updating both of these plugins fixed the issue.
