yes, same for me with 0.9.0 on windows

[C0sm0cats]

fixed with https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm/releases/tag/v0.9.1-beta.2

[C0sm0cats]

well fixed on my personal windows with last release but not on my VM horizon windows at work (gui simply does not start anymore, i get same result in taskmanager)

@C0sm0cats @LinoCasu checking, are you still seeing this on 0.9.1?

[C0sm0cats]

@esimkowitz It's working fine with version 0.9.2 on my personal Windows 11 VMware Workstation. I'll test it today on my Windows VM at work using Horizon.

@esimkowitz not working with version 0.9.2 on my Windows VM at work using Horizon.

@chottuthejimmy this might be the same issue you're seeing in #1282

[chottuthejimmy]

This is what I see It does open the window, but its just gray screen. Seems like it should be fixed rn

[chottuthejimmy]

Currently there's an installation error that we are seeing here's the dashcam rec

@chottuthejimmy i think this is unrelated. Please open a separate issue

@esimkowitz It's working fine with zip version 0.9.3 on my personal Windows 11 VMware Workstation. It's Ok also on my Windows VM at work using Horizon (workaround : i removed C:\Users\ME\ .waveterm directory from old release installation, and boom gui now works again, and now config is in C:\Users\ME\ .config\waveterm)

[esimkowitz]

That's weird that that would cause the gui to fail to start... maybe there was something corrupted in your DB? Unfortunately deleting .waveterm also means we lose the logs :/

[C0sm0cats]

The difference in behavior and directory structure can maybe be explained by the fact that I switched from the .exe installation to the .zip version...From now on, for Windows, I will only install the .zip version as it’s much more convenient, especially at work where sometimes you can only install in a directory where you have elevated rights.

I tried several versions: 0.9.2, 0.9.3, 0.10.0, 0.10.1, 0.10.2, 0.10.3, 0.10.4, 0.11.0-beta.2, 0.11.0-beta.3, 0.11.0-beta.5, 0.11.0 Wave doesn't respond on win11. The Wave interface cannot be opened.
