It just says Name/Path with Launchbox under Name twice. No path. I'm done. Nothing will fix this.

Didn't work. Now it won't even give me the message about another instance. Of course not. This is a lost cause.

I'll try this when I get home from work tomorrow

What if I get a second PC and only have Launchbox on there? Maybe a mid-range gaming laptop and nothing else goes on it. Because this is ridiculous that nothing I've done works.

Yes, 14.0. I checked the startup apps and Launchbox was either not listed or it was disabled. So either way that wasn't the problem. The problem I think is that it turns out Launchbox still is on the C drive but I can't delete it because it says the file is open. If it was open I would be using it and not having this problem in the first place. Once again, it's not in Task Manager and like I said, I'd be using it if it were open. Also, I tried Microsoft Powertoys to try to delete the folder but when I selected it and clicked "Unlock with File Locksmith" (a feature in PowerToys) it said NO RESULTS. This is a bunch of BS

The install wizard doesn't come up. Just gives me the message about another instance. The installation went through just fine but the software won't open.

Virus protection didn't detect anything. See, it's not in Task Manager

Nope. Just looked under the Details tab. Nothing regarding Launchbox.

I deleted Launchbox from the C drive. Complete deletion. Now it's installed on the F drive and only the F drive. Yet it still refuses to open because it thinks Launchbox is already running. It is not. If it was I wouldn't be trying to install it. There are no running processes in Task Manager yet the software thinks there are. It has no idea what's going on and refuses to properly function. I have done everything I can to mitigate this problem and the software simply is incapable of running.

Now I'm trying to delete all instances of LB and it keeps telling me a file is in use. Task Manager has no LB-related files in use.

No. I get the little blue rotating circle for a few seconds and that's it. Tried that. Still doesn't work.

I deleted the F drive one but now the C drive one won't open. I click on it and nothing happens. Run as admin has the same result. No message about another instance or anything.

F:\LaunchBox\Core\LaunchBox.exe But there's also C:\Users\tiger\LaunchBox And no, I left the games where they were, in various locations among my drives.

Yes

I had to reboot my PC and I opened Launchbox and EVERYTHING is now gone. Every imported game is gone. I had over 10,000 games listed and now I have to import everything all over again and after that edit multiple file names. This process takes hours and for absolutely no reason everything is now gone. I even rolled back from the disaster that is 14.0 and it made no difference. All because I rebooted my PC. Also, it's on the C drive with a ton of non-game files and yet it lost everything.
