If I ask it to open anyway it just all closes down. I am running windows 10!

There are a couple of know bugs that match that rather cursory description. One involves non-ASCII characters in saved-reports-2.4 and config.user, the other bad dates (ones before 1400).

Both have fixes and a nightly build, https://wiki.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/gnucash-3.0-2018-04-16-git-3.0-75-g87f94abc8+.setup.exe <https://wiki.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint/gnucash-3.0-2018-04-16-git-3.0-75-g87f94abc8+.setup.exe>, is available for Windows users to test.
