I've just installed "Current stable version: 0.20.2" on Win10 64bit, but when I try to run I see the startup image for a couple of seconds, then nothing.
From the installed folder in the command prompt, I entered "bin\freecad --write-log"
The first error I see is this:
Log: Id: 10308: C:\WINDOWS\system32\MFCaptureEngine.dll:MFCaptureEngine.dll (00007FFE38AB0000), size: 679936 (result: 0), SymType: '-exported-', PDB: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\MFCaptureEngine.dll', fileVersion: 6.2.19041.906

I found someone else with exactly the same problem, but no solution:

I tried to install the same exe on another laptop with Win10, and that worked, so it seems to be something specific to this computer.

Re: Current stable version: 0.20.2 fails to start
Seems to be that some files are missing or are unavailable to the applications, sometimes, are caused by directory permission problems.

Actually, there was a solution.Joc wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 6:20 am I found someone else with exactly the same problem, but no solution:

Someone else added an unrelated post containing a different problem. The discussion went no further.
Forget the last post in that topic and read the remainder. Looks like OpenGL and/or Windows permission problems. (Not clear to me which one was important.)

Re: Current stable version: 0.20.2 fails to start
You're right, and I tried it with success, now FreeCAD starts, but it's painfully slow, better than nothing but not much.GeneFC wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 1:52 pmActually, there was a solution.Joc wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 6:20 am I found someone else with exactly the same problem, but no solution:

Thanks.
