Not starting on Windows 11

[vsxed]

Seems like the application does not start correctly on Windows 11.

Configuration seems fine, config file is created, nothing stated in the logs.

Websocket API is active in my HA setup.

When i click on the application icon, simply nothing happens

[PiotrMachowski]

Can you try starting "DEBUG" exe?

[vsxed]

The debug exe does not start aswell.

Here's the log:

Can you try to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 and check again?

[vsxed]

Looks like it is already installed:

[PiotrMachowski]

Have you used the exe installer or zip archive?

[vsxed]

I used the exe installer (with admin privileges)

[PiotrMachowski]

Can you verify that all files are present? (compared to zip version)

[vsxed]

Thanks for your help so far @PiotrMachowski!

As far as i can see, the files are the same in both directories (installation vs zip). Also tried to run the application from the unzipped version, but the errors are the same as with the installer version (also the debug variant, same exception).

Edit: also the mentioned file in the exception exists in the directories

Edit 2: Some more info about the system:

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 21H2
Installed on    ‎6 ‎Oct ‎2021
OS build    22000.194
Experience  Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.194.0

The OS has been freshly installed yesterday

Is there anything else i could do to identify the issue?

[PiotrMachowski]

Can you install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015+ and try again?

[vsxed]

Nice!

At first it didn't work because i installed the x64 version. After installing the x86 distributable, it now starts.

Thanks so much!

[PiotrMachowski]

Thank you for your cooperation!

hi, I am still facing this issue after installing the Visual C++ 2015 distributable linked above.

Just FYI. although the Homeassistant window was not appearing on screen when clicking on the system tray icon, it would still show in the task switcher screen.

EDIT: The system tray pop-up menu is available and i can perform actions. just the on screen window is not appearing. It did appear after fresh install where I was able to ender configuration information and login.

[fernandex00]

Same here

[PiotrMachowski]

@fernandex00 so you got it working?

[fernandex00]

@fernandex00 so you got it working?

[PiotrMachowski]
