@candideu Did any error appear when you were opening the application?

I don't know if it's related, but I had a similar problem when I tried to install on a virtual machine.

I had the same problem yesterday when I tried to opened it on a VirtualBox VM (Windows 11). The app is shown in task manager, but nothing rendered on the screen, no error no log.

I tried v0.7.7 (installer and portable) and 0.7.6 (portable). Nothing work.

I finally tried the v0.7.7 on my computer (not a VM) (Windows 10) and it worked.

@LucasXu0 no error; it just doesn't open at all when I click on the .exe

I'm not using a virtual machine

@candideu Could you check if version 0.7.6 works for you?

@LucasXu0 Unfortunately, 0.76 doesn't: both the standalone and installed app don't open (I always do a fresh install).

There is no issue to open it on windows 11

Have you tried to delete the data folder , then uninstall it and install it again : [C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\appflowy_flutter...]

@asjqkkkk There is no such folder in that directory (I'm on Windows 10)...

I could only find a folder called "io.appflowy" in AppData/Roaming

I finally got it working!!! 🥳

I uninstalled the app, then installed the last working version: 0.7.1, but ran into the same issues when trying to launch the app.

Thanks to this thread https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/6422, I decided to launch Run (WIN key + R), and entered %AppData%/io.appflowy/AppFlowy/data.

Then, I navigated to the parent folders, and deleted this one:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\io.appflowy (%AppData%/io.appflowy)

I then launched the app, and got it working. It brought me to the sign-in page.

Next, I uninstalled 0.7.1, deleted the same io.appflowy folder, and downloaded the latest version: 0.7.9

I'm now able to launch the app, and was able to sign in successfully.

Turns out that @asjqkkkk had the right idea here:

Have you tried to delete the data folder , then uninstall it and install it again : [C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\appflowy_flutter...]

I don't know why it wasn't working when I tried that at the time, but I'm glad it does now.

Thank you for your help!
