I’ve been running Cura version 3.6.31 and earlier versions for years on my windows 10 computer. Suddenly it would not run anymore. I finally gave up and uninstalled it and re-installed it (I have repeated this process 4 times). Since the original installed version was working and suddenly stopped working, I suspect that something else is going on.
The Cura rocktopus window opens and runs to “loading interfaces” and then disappears. Nothing else ever appears. I looked in task manager and “Slicing engine for Cura” is a background process. Nothing else Cura related is running.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to run?
Usually I run my dedicated win 10 laptop off-line so Microsoft doesn’t interrupt my prints with their update crap. One day Cura was running fine and then I made the mistake of going on-line.
Cura would not start again. I tried everything. What I found out is Microsoft just wants you to upgrade to win 11. So any/all “non-approved” software stopped working. Although the upgrade was “free”, they take every opportunity to up-sell you. I am seriously looking at Linux distributions to get away from MS.
