cannot open CompactGUI.exe

NET9 has been installed, but when I click on CompactGUI.exe, it doesn't open at all. It only generates a dmp file.

What does the crash report actually say? You can check the Windows Event Viewer to see what's happening, and share that here

Could it be because of this? Image

Check what it says in event viewer, that usually tells you the cause of the crash

That being said, I didn't find anything related to CompactGUI.exe in the Windows Event Viewer. Image

Click Windows Logs in the left pane, then "Application" and look for the crash in there. It might be listed as a .Net Runtime error instead of CompactGUI

Hmm there should be another error just above or below that one that shows the actual trace back of the crash

It's just these two incidents; there are no other related ones. Image A test was conducted just now at 10:41, and similarly, only these two events occurred. Image

I experienced the same issue on one of my machines, and it was also crashing at KERNELBASE.dll.

Update: I reproduced the same issue even after building from source. Running the app using dotnet CompactGUI.dll works normally, and changing the target framework to .NET 8 also eliminates the crash. I'm still looking into the root cause.
