actually i can run it at v1.8.1,and i updated to v1.14.1,i do not know what is wrong with this software,now i can not connect specter to my bitcoin core in h:\bitcoin,i run config but the auto-detect program always point to C:\Users\laoban\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin path,which my bitcoin core is not here.and no matter how many times i reinstall bitcoin core or specter desktop,nothing change,the problem is still here,i can not connect specter and bitcoin core.

what can i do now?

I am not familiar with the default locations for the data dir on Windows, have a look here:

In any case, you don't need to use a specific data dir, you just need to have bitcoind running and have it listen to RPC requests. Add this to your bitcoin.conf file.

server=1
rpcuser=BLABLA
rpcpassword=SUPERSECRET

then you can toggle of the auto-detect and just enter these credentials in Specter.
