Tell me how I can help you. Does the editor write a log of some sort?

[Zireael07]

Try launching from terminal with --verbose parameter

[Vytek]

Nothing happens, but if I see the TaskManager the Godot is running, but nothing is displayed. Very strange...

[Vytek]

The process is in idle mode:

[Vytek]

I think it is very similar to: https://godotengine.org/qa/148344/godot-4-does-not-open-while-the-3-5-version-opens

All dependencies seem to be on, I can't understand :-(

[Vytek]

OPENGL Version, etc...

[Vytek]

Same problems using --render opengl3

Do you have an antivirus enabled? It could be stopping the Godot process from running. Some people find they need to whitelist Godot in order to get it to run

I have only Windows Defender.

Check on virustotal the file is OK:

The issue is with Nahimic. You need to disable it: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/28785, https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/13208

Are you on a multi-monitor setup?

[Vytek]

YES! I confirmed. Disabling Nahimic now all works fine.

[Vytek]

The issue is with Nahimic. You need to disable it: #28785, #13208

Are you on a multi-monitor setup?

No, only one monitor, but Nahimic 2+ is active (Version 2.5.35)

Incredible.

Thank you very much!

[Calinou]

Thanks for checking :slightly_smiling_face:

Closing in favor of https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/13208, as this is due to the same cause.

[Zireael07]

Wow, how did you figure out the guy even has Nahimic in the first place?

Also: is this documented somewhere?
