Application starts but then closes

Just tried to use S3D but when i click to open it it briefly starts and then closes.

Things ive done

Uninstalled and reinstalled.
Run as Administrator.
Tried opening a gcode of a previous sliced stl

All the same opens then closes

At the moment using Puser Slicer but want to get back to S3D

Cheers

Re: Application starts but then closes

Try this....

Look in folder c:\users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Simplify3D\S3D-Software for the file savedState.factory….and delete it.

If this file was corrupt, then you'll then be able to run S3D. It may be that you've previously used filenames with extended character set characters....which you should avoid.
