cefsharp.core.runtime error on 13.19. Windows 11 24h2.

Everytime I load LB or BB I get cefsharp.core.runtime error.  This is a new PC that I am trying to migrate my library onto.  I have yet to import anything.  This is a clean build on a clean computer.

The original error is essentially saying that something on the computer, whether it be Microsoft Defender or another security software has blocked that dll file, which is a requirement to run LaunchBox.

The way out of that is to identify which software on your computer is blocking dll files inside of the LaunchBox folder and get it to stop doing that.

Once you do that, if you are unable to recover the dll files that the software quarantined or deleted, you'll have to then re-install LaunchBox from the setup file. Run the setup file, making sure you install it in the exact location as your current install (making sure it doesn't add an extra "LaunchBox" folder to the install path), and getting to the end of the installer. Once done, LaunchBox should open up, and if you had a library of games, you would see them once again.

I ended up reinstalling Launchbox. It works now.
