The program won't start, which seems to have happened the day before yesterday after a minor update patch for windows.

Now I want to know what to do. I have a lot of notes that are encrypted. I would like to know where the data of the notes are saved in the computer.

SilentNotes 8.2.0.0

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X RAM 16.0 GB x64 Windows 10 Home 22H2 OS 19045.5011 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

The repository is stored in this directory: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\22846MartinStoeckli.SilentNotes_4aa5zt7h99ppe\LocalState

If you want to try to reinstall the app, do a backup of the file "silentnotes_repository.silentnotes" before you deinstall the app. Do you see anything when starting the app, or does it never show a window at all?

Thanks. The window never appears at all, but can be seen briefly in the task manager for about 0.5 seconds after a few seconds of clicking on the application icon.

I checked in the system settings and found that the system could still be updated, and after that it could be opened normally. OS 19045.5131

Thank you for getting back, I'm glad that it is working again. BTW, you can get the path when you open the info page and tapping 5 times on the image.
