Would help if you posted up a picture of the error you are seeing. Also what operating system are you using?

I'd try installing the Visual C++ runtime that can be found here

Is Game Details stating "Unavailable" or are you getting errors when attempting to play? I've tried relative pathing and not had any issue. Where is LaunchBox installed? Also are you attempting to run LB as administrator? Doing so can cause issues with relative pathing so if are please stop.

Make sure you didn't turn off the auto-import functionality in Tools > Manage > Storefronts... Without a Steam API key entered we can only import games installed via the Steam Client. We are reading system files/registry to be able to see what's installed.

Did you update to beta 1? If so you'll want to download beta 2 to resolve that issue.

We have support for a primary screen and a single marquee screen native. There are community plugins that can be used to render to more screens if required LaunchBox has native LEDBlinky support that can be enabled for navigation while in the interface and can start a game's loadout for you. That being said custom per-game lighting still needs set up in LEDBlinky as we don't do it for you. Not via native settings. Most of those things have applications that come with them you need to install. Then in LB you add an "additional application" to the game in question that is set to launch before you launch the game. In that app you'd have it run that application and send it the appropriate command line which makes the change. LB then starts the game.

Sounds like potentially the "Game Discovery Center". It's an option available via the System Menu

Should be able to use Joe's plugin to do so last I recall

Yeah, you can

You can manually add a game to a playlist without terrorizing your genre field. That being said if you still want to do that just select all your games and press CTRL+E to bring up bulk edit wizard. Press Next to get to the field drop down and select Genre. In the top box that asks what genre's you want to remove just check all the boxes. Once done press next until the wizard completes and then say "Done making changes". Be prepared for the deafening cry of all the metadata focused users who will feel a disturbance in the force after it happens though. Don't say I didn't warn you!

I'd copy it again (or at least the "Core" folder). Sounds like the AV is quarantining/locking that DLL. We've had issues with that specific DLL getting blocked like that a lot lately since it's essential Chrome in DLL form. Lot of AVs block it since it allows the application to open websites and other web related activities.

This thread pretty exclusively talking about genre playlists where we have systems in place that help you create playlist by each genre automatically, you can then use the Genre sidebar filter and select "(NONE)" to see the games that don't have a genre at all. This option may need to be enabled in Options (I can't remember the default value).

Yeah, this solution predates all of these features and may need a revisit at some point. Ideally as we moved towards new solutions on other fronts we will likely move away from some of the sidebar systems in place as they tend to trip over themselves a lot. We have a lot of idea's fleshed out for future projects but it's kind of hard to inject them into LB currently because it'd be a pretty drastic change from the normal. Tagging @faeran so he can mull over what the best course of action is in the more immediate future.

That's been a thing for as long as I've been around. I think it's largely because most of the events that create playlists create a PRETTY large number of them with names that aren't always pretty. There were concerns it'd bloat that view with playlist names that made knowing what you were looking at pretty difficult. I'm referring to things like auto-generated genre child playlists. Due to this I think the logic was to hide them so only the ones you manually created yourself were shown and not lost in the sea of the other stuff.
