Hi,

OpenRGB doesnt open when i try to start it. It loads for 2 seconds on my mouse, then absoluty nothing happens.

A few days before everything was working fine.

I tried deleting all files and redownloading several times.

I did try to run as admin.

I see no tasks on my task manager related to OpenRGB.

Help would be very appreciated! Thank you :)

    Hi, thanks for your answer! You helped my already: I checked th Application event log and it gives following error when i try to run OpenRGB: “faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll”

    I googled a lot already and tried to fix this: rapaired visual c++, reinstalled visual c++ etc. Sadly nothing helped.

    I know this is now probably more of an windows problem then OpenRGB problem. Maybe you can help me anway or redirect me, to where i mind find help with this problem.

    Thanks so much! Regards.

      What windows version?

      What version of openrgb?

      Also is your version 64 bit or 32 bit?

      Maybe it’s a version mismatch with visual c++ runtime? I’m guessing here.

      I’ll search and update here later.

          Yeah i did find alle the links your posted myself today, when i researched about the ucrtbase.dll file.

          Sadly it didnt help, i hope i did everything as supposed.

          I did reinstall Microsoft Visual 2019 C++ from the link you posted here, i hope i did corrctly (i used this Link (description: “Permalink for latest supported x64 version. The X64 Redistributable package contains both ARM64 and X64 binaries. This package makes it easy to install required Visual C++ ARM64 binaries when the X64 Redistributable is installed on an ARM64 device.”)

          I also tried every step from the partitionwizard website.

          Thanks, i will check that out and report back.

          I did run OpenRGB as admin the first time. As i said, it used to run perfectly and then one day it just didnt. Dont know what changed.

          I also always do try to run it as admin, when i try top open it again, no help so far.

            I had the same problem not being able to get OpenRGB to run after tried everything above and reinstalled. I don’t know if you still have the problem but here is how I fixed it.

            Deleting the whole openrgb folder does not really uninstall it completely, there is still data like profiles in the appdata/roaming folder. I suppose my problem is one of the profile name I created was not in English, which caused the problem.

            If you still can get it running, maybe try reinstalling again. Delete the whole openrgb folder, and then go to C/users/“yourusername”/AppData/Roaming and delete the openrgb folder there.
