[GNC] Issue Opening GnuCash in versions above 4.9 on Windows 11

[Gyle McCollam]

Does gnucash open, just not your data file? If so,  once opened try file open and select your ???.gnucash file. I'm on windows 11 and gnucash 4.11 with no issues.

Subject: [GNC] Issue Opening GnuCash in versions above 4.9 on Windows 11

I previously posted (some time ago) about an issue opening GnuCash following
upgrade to a newer version. I decided to wait to see if a newer version
would overcome my problem.



I am on a Windows 11 PC, and am able to use GnuCash 4.9. I have tried
updating to GnuCash 4.10 and 4.11, unfortunately when  I try to open the
gnucash.exe on anything above the 4.9 version then nothing happens (it
doesn't make any difference if I start as an Administrator or not). Windows
thinks for 2 seconds and then does nothing. I can see no GnuCash processes
in Task Manager. Once I revert to version 4.9 everything works as it should.



I have tried downloading from sourceforge and GitHub, in case there was an
issue. I have tried turning of my Firewall and antivirus, but same issue.



Did something drastic chance be between version 4.9 and 4.10 or is there
anything else I can to see if I can overcome this problem? It's getting to
be quite frustrating!
