5.0.3 LittleBigMouse does not launch at all

[DxNeXtGen]

I've uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my pc, repeated.

DxDiag included for your convenience. The system tray icon is blank, no UI is launched when program is ran. DxDiag.txt

I have installed the .NET Framework as prompted, and have gone back to try older versions and am having the same issues,

I downloaded it today 12-6-23 and is doing the same thing to me. Hopefully they see this.

[agerberoff]

Same thing happened to me. I even installed the 4…. Version and nothing happened. Hopefully they fix it soon. Thank you!

I have windows 10 and 11 and tried the programs on both and nothing is working. Just pops up as a black box bottom right corner.

I having the same problem. When I installed it ask me to install Windows runtime 8.0.0 witch I did but nothing is working.

Probably having the same issue. The program will appear very briefly in task manager, and then disappear when I try to launch it, no visible window is shown.

@RealmX1 Still with 5.0.4.1 ?

@RealmX1 Still with 5.0.4.1 ?

I have tried 5.0.4.1 and previous version both have same issue even if I setup necessary components.

[RealmX1]

@RealmX1 Still with 5.0.4.1 ?

Yes. Tried multiple version, including 5.0.4.1. As I've described. the program appears very briefly in task manager before disappearing, and no window is opened.

I've currently resorted to rendering all monitors according to their size with respect to the size & resolution of one specific monitor. For example, I have a 2k monitor of 27 inch in size; I'm rendering my 24 inch 1080p monitor at 2560/2724 =2250 (1227) so that mouse movement is scaled correctly... which makes the monitor look weird

Same issue here, however the app persists in Task Manager under Background Processes. Dxdiag: DxDiag.txt

[RichardYocke]

I also have the same issue on a completely fresh install of windows 11

[DawsonBodenhamer]

same issue here, I downloaded version 5.0.5.0 (windows 11 PC) and .NET (as prompted) but LittleBigMouse doesn't run at all, even if I right click it from search bar and click "Run as Admin"

stop using it, so that you won't have any anxiety :(

I tried repeatedly, unintalling and using the just lower version, and at last v5.0.1.0 works on my win11(23H2) device! But something not so perfect is that the application cant display its text normally when windows is using a dark theme(mode). Anyway it works. Hope this method could work on you devices.

Cheers White mode fixed it

I have installed the .NET Framework as prompted, and have gone back to try older versions and am having the same issues,

So I just installed LBM 5.05 on both my home PC and work PC (both Win10). Home PC works with no problems.
Work PC I get the same behavior as OP. LBM shortcut has the blue/yellow shield on it. Starting LBM gives me the yellow UAC unknown publisher warning. It tries to start, LBM.Ui.Avalonia shows running in Task Manager. There's a blank spot in the taskbar notification area where the icon should be but hovering over it gives you nothing, neither do left/right clicks.

My guess is my IT dept is blocking some aspect that it needs to run. 🤷‍♂️

Nope. I am admin on my machine and am my own IT dept... 😂 I get the same behaviour, so it's not because of any restriction.

[FliesEyes]

I am not having any success myself yet. I had it working on a previous PC. I suppose I will just need to watch this forum to see if any updates or advice as to installation requirements are posted.

FWIW I ran across this response on a similar thread.

Originally posted by @bevellon in https://github.com/mgth/LittleBigMouse/issues/307#issuecomment-1935490835 The problem is that the program requires admin credentials or UAC prompt to run. If enabled for startup it will not run for a regular user. I have an admin account separate from my main account. The default task scheduler config is to run on admin login. I tried to change this to run at startup for all users, but had the same issue where it will run in the background without doing anything. The program runs as expected with admin login, no intervention needed. I also tried to change the manifest to run as invoker on my main account, but again the program would run and not do anything.

[jgrafman]

Same issue for me. Sucks, I was hoping this would be a nice fix

[PaulSorauer-IPG]

Great news! Version 5.2.2.0 has been released and I am now running LBM successfully! Yay!
