Okay can you install .NET framework 4.8.1? If you don't already have it.

Also delete the entire C:\ProgramData\Optimizer folder and try to run it again.

@mike3141 Here's the framework: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net481-web-installer

[mike3141]

I'm pretty sure I had it installed, but I've reinstalled it just in case.

After doing it and deleting the route that you have indicated, I am having the same error

the first log entry is a run of optimizer with no arguments and the second is from the optimizer /restart=disabledefender command.

The error translation is the same as above: "Cannot load file or assembly System.Runtime, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' not one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the specified file."

thanks again for the support

Okay, something strange seems to be missing on your windows installation... @mike3141

[hellzerg]

Did the problem get solved?

[Galamooth]

Tengo el mismo problema.... no se abre encontró alguna solución?

[Galamooth]

I just found the solution. Check that the downloads folder has the default location correctly. the program will create by default, in downloads folder the optimizer downloads folder in this location.

[hellzerg]

@Galamooth Okay, seems to be a bug. Will hotfix it in next version.

[Galamooth]

I have the system in Spanish language so the downloads folder should be "Descargas" in spanish Optimizer always changes it to "downloads" which causes the route to break. Can you fix that too? Thank you

[hellzerg]

@Galamooth

The User Profile Download folder path should be the same, following your translated Windows. Are you sure the problem is this?

[Galamooth]

When I use optimizer. The program creates a folder in "Downloads" Since my system is in Spanish. The correct name is "Descargas" So the program creates a folder called downloads in addition to my original downloads folder. Sometimes it replaces the original folder by removing system properties as defaults I must Manually adjust folder every time I use optimizer and reset folder Descargas As the default folder this somehow caused the problem mentioned optimize just wouldn't open

[Galamooth]

Excuse my bad English, I'm using a translator.

[hellzerg]

@Galamooth Can you copy the full path of the wrong Downloads folder?

[Galamooth]

C:\Users\Galamooth\Downloads
I simply opened optimizer and created this folder. additional to my original downloads folder

[hellzerg]

@Galamooth Okay, can you tell me the value of AppsFolder in C:\ProgramData\Optimizer\optimizer.json?

[Galamooth]

Also note that optimize will only replace my downloads folder if it is empty. Optimizer.txt

[Galamooth]

I just changed the name. TO "Descargas" Optimizer no longer creates another folder. But this was the main cause of optimizer not starting.

[hellzerg]

That's strange. because even if the folder path set in AppsFolder value not exists, it creates it. It does not crash.

[Galamooth]

Well, I'm not the only one this happened to. You should identify the name of the downloads folder by different languages ​​just to avoid these problems.

[hellzerg]

Can you go to Registry -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and tell me if the value of {374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B} key is correct?

@Galamooth

[Galamooth]

@hellzerg

[hellzerg]

Okay, I will retrieve the folder with translation from there.

[Galamooth]

Apart of this. Will you implement more improvements or adjustments? Some option to import and export energy plans would be interesting.

[hellzerg]

I hope the problem got fixed in v15.9! Energy plans export/import are not in the plans for now!
