Launchbox Crashes and malfunctions in Windows 11 25H2

[Gianni]

This month I purchased an handeld (MSI Claw 8 ai+), Windows 11 OS installed with 25H2 update. I tried importing LB folder from my W10 PC, launcher got stuck at the “loading game database” banner; then i made a clean install, It started but after adding just a single game got the same result. I finally managed to pass the issue with the exe in “Windows 8 compatibility mode”, but It got other problems. All the games (roms starting with emulators) are visibile, but the Play button in LB ang BB make the launcher crash; instead if I right click and select the “open with” option, press the emulator listed for the game, It starts fine even recognizing my added scripts.
I have one emulator only for every platform, all set as default, path of the roms are right; having this Launcher for years I generally know where to look when issues occur. I stiil think the obstacle Is Windows 11, since even a clean installation got stuck after adding a folder platform or a single rom.

mine was working fine now wont even start even after 2 updates, cant get into menu, themes, bigbox. I'm embarrassed this is a arcade build for a client. Its on an external drive with all the roms. at least if it gave a error i'd have a way to diagnose what's wrong it just buffers and doesn't start. did you ever figure what the problem was?

I came to the conclusion that the Claw 8 AI+ is a jewel for gaming performance, but the Windows 11 enviroment has always issues, fixing one thing it will broke another. I was able to make LB function properly only resetting the device without any installation, then the Center M prompt an update, installed/rebooted and vanished from the device; the uninstall process before installing the update erased something crucial for the app to work. In the end, I opted for the refund and gave It back.
