Hise won't open on Windows 10

[bendurso]

The build is successful with Visual Studio 2022, but I can’t open the HISE.exe app—not even in compatibility mode or as an administrator.

I’m using the latest develop branch, but I also tried older branches. I tested without IPP and without Faust, but I still can’t open HISE.

The only HISE app I can open is the compiled 4.1.0 from the Releases.

Any ideas what could be wrong? I’m on Windows 10 Home 22H2.

@bendurso What happens when you try to open it?

[bendurso]

@d-healey Nothing.. the mouse cursor changes to the loading icon for about 3 seconds, and then nothing. I also tried opening it with the console.

[d.healey]

@bendurso Do you see any errors in the console? What happens when you run it from within Visual Studio?

[It_Used]

@bendurso I had this on Win 11, and after clearing AppData path (Use Win + R, paste and run it) %AppData% delete folders HISE or HISE.exe.
You will lose the settings, but Hise will start running.

@It_Used Ah yeah that makes total sense, clearing out the old HISE preferences can solve this kind of problem. You might not need to delete the whole folder. Just one of the files in the folder - that way you can avoid losing all of your settings.

But finding out which file is the tricky part.

Yes, that's why I didn't think much about this moment, there still aren't many settings to remember them)))

@d-healey No errors in the console. When I click on "Start Without Debugging" from the Visual Studio exported project, nothing happens.

Thanks I also tried this.. but the issue is still there..

[d.healey]

@bendurso Send me the binary, I'll take a look tomorrow

[bendurso]

@d-healey Thanks, I will

[d.healey]

@bendurso It opens just fine here. Are you sure you deleted the correct HISE settings folder?

It should be at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\HISE

[bendurso]

@d-healey Thanks for checking :) yeah, I deleted that folder. It might be related to some windows update? I'll try to unistall the last updates

[d.healey]

@bendurso I have the latest updates installed

[d.healey]

Anti-virus maybe?

[Christoph Hart]

What happens if you run the debug build from within VS?

[It_Used]

@Christoph-Hart I had just such problems on Win 11, too, after launching the release version and the one that I built myself. But as I wrote here, everything was resolved by deleting all Hise folders in AppData.

Latest updates from W11?

No antivirus.. only the default Windows Defender. I added the whole HISE folder to exclusions.

Nothing happens..

I formatted Windows 10, reinstalled Visual Studio, Faust, and IPP. The build succeeded, but I still can’t open HISE.exe.

I’m suspecting something: when I reinstalled Visual Studio and selected Desktop Development with C++, it had the Windows 11 SDK selected by default. So I unchecked it and selected the Windows 10 SDK instead. Was that the correct choice?
