Doesn't open on Windows 10

[NunoMouraz]

v1.9.0

Tried x32 and x64, it just basically closes itself automatically or something, it shows up on task manager for a split second and then vanishes.

Tried compatibility mode, executing as admin and to no avail.

Please fix.

Check again, I have no problem with Windows x64 system.
I had just problems with the start script but solved them with the following code:

NunoMouraz - Do you use MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner by any change? I notices that those two make Losseless Cut crashing. Also PowerDirector crashes with them running in the background (program for editing that I use).

[NunoMouraz]

No I don't use RivaTuner. I still can't start it. Maybe some sort of coding library is required? (Visual C++, Basic, Python...)

Edit: Is it only hapenning to me?

[TechManiacHD]

Well... I have been using it on a few different machines and never had any problem. Do you have all updates from windows installed?

[malte1989]

But how did you get it managed without replacing the linux based commands like "rm -rf" or "ln -s"?

[CaptaPraelium]

Works fine, with rivatuner and afterburner, too... No modifications to the start script. Just works out of the box. Sorry :(

I'm having the exact same issue. It just suddenly stopped working. May appear for a split second in Task Manager. No crash log and I saw nothing in the event viewer.
Things I've done in the last week: Update my graphics driver, update my BIOS, move my OS from an SSD to an M.2 Drive, update a bunch of motherboard-related drivers, reinstall premiere pro.

Could u try to run it from the command line and see if any error? Or try to download electron version 8 and run it and see if that crashes too

[Avasam]

I had tried from command line as well. Today it started working again.
Oh, I know what happened, I fixed the permissions of my TEMP folder yesterday (somehow I was no longer in the allowed users), because I noticed another app, which I know creates an executable in TEMP, was giving me errors.

So I guess LosslessCut just failed silently in that case. Fixing the permissions fixed the issue.

thanks for reporting bakc
