New to LaunchBox; App will not launch

[damaine21]

Hello,

I am a new user of LaunchBox, and just installed the app on my Windows 11 PC.
It appears to have installed without any issues at all, but it will not launch at all.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but have had no luck.
I also tried launching it from the start menu, the exe in the 'LaunchBox' directory, and the exe in the 'Core' directory.
No errors appear.
It also disappears quickly from the task manager after launch.

Any help would be appreciated!

Most of the time we here this it's because an overzealous AV has quarantined a required file. Please verify this hasn't happened. You can also look in Windows Event Viewer's application logs for a .NET Runtime Error error log. There could be one in there that says LaunchBox crashed, along with a second log entry that has the actual error and stack trace saying why.

Thanks so much for your response.
I don't believe that my antivirus quarantined anything. (I didn't see anything listed there).
But I did find the stack trace:

Quote

If I do not run as administrator, the Process appears and disappears from my Task Manager very quickly.
--------------------------

I have discovered that if I run the app as an administrator, then the Process stays in my Task Manager.


Then when I go to Details in Task Manager, i see two entries of Launchbox.
One is running, and the other is suspended.

If I kill the suspended task, Launchbox will actually launch as intended.
--------------------------

Any ideas on how I can resolve this?
Any help would be appreciated! ☺️
