Hise won't open on Windows 10

@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?

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

@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?

Win 10

I fixed it—I bought a faster computer, lol. I followed the exact same process, so it was probably related to my old computer being slow. Now I’m really happy to be building HISE quickly on both Intel Windows and Linux

[d.healey]

@bendurso Oh now I think I might know what the issue is... A few commits back Christoph made it so that HISE requires AVX to be available on the CPU - this caught me out on one of my VMs.

That makes sense.

[d.healey]

@bendurso What was the old CPU?

[bendurso]

@d-healey Intel Celeron N3350 1.1GHz.

Oh and I was also checking your new video (the course) on building HISE, and I noticed you selected the Windows 11 SDK when installing Visual Studio. On Windows 10, the default option is now also the Windows 11 SDK, and I’m not sure if plugins exported with SDK 11 will work on a Windows 10 computer.

Intel Celeron N3350 1.1GHz.

No AVX support for this one.

Yes should work, probably all the way back to Windows 7.

I'm experiencing the same issue when I install the Arm version of Windows 11 on my M3 MacBook via UTM.

Hise compiles but won't open. Do I have to install the Intel version of Windows to run Hise on this VM?
