The program gives a message when it starts and does not start. I had to go back to the previous version.

P.S. I'm using Windows 7

Thank you for reporting this. I have added a note to the release page.

The problem is that v0.9.10 was built on Qt 6, while the previous version was built on Qt 5. Unfortunately, Qt 6 does not officially support Window 7: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows.html

However, there are issues with Qt 5 as well. First, Qt 5 is officially out of support (unless you are willing to pay $3,700 per year), and as a result, Qt 5 is no longer officially supported on macOS, either. Also, some classes that are used to implement OAuth are not available in Qt 5.

For reference, Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 support in January of 2020: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-support-ended-on-january-14-2020-b75d4580-2cc7-895a-2c9c-1466d9a53962

I'm sorry, you may have to stick with v0.9.9 as long as you are running Windows 7.
