DESCRIPTION

The window for Shoko Desktop is not showing up, though task manager shows that the process is running. Not sure what more to add except the log above (from %programdata%\ShokoDesktop\logs).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Start ShokoDesktop and nothing seems to happen....

That shouldn't be an issue in 4.0.1, but delete the section for File Quality... In settings-server.json (server settings) and delete the Desktop settings file

That fixed it, thanks!
