I just ran a Windows update on my PC, and now MV 1.6.1 won’t open at all. When I try to open a project via my desktop, file explorer, or even Steam, it just comes up with a white screen which closes itself after a few seconds.
Some background:
I’d previously been experiencing extremely frequent crashes in MV’s Animations tab. Any action taken within the tab could set off a crash, and attempting to change the hue of any animation would instantly crash the program.
I tried to reinstall a fresh version of MV 1.6.1 prior to attempting the Windows update, uninstalling my previous 1.6.1 install first. No effect on the animation tab crashes. I also uninstalled and reinstalled MV after the Windows update. It continues to crash, but now before the program can even load.
After the crashes began, I uninstalled all antivirus and malware protection from my computer to make sure they weren’t interfering. Still crashing.
I haven’t tried downgrading versions yet because my project is using a number of plugins designed for 1.6.1. I’ll do it if there’s absolutely no other choice, but I’ll just be trading one type of crash out for others.
Not sure if this is even remotely relevant, but the Windows update automatically bumped my screen resolution up to 1920 x 1080 from whatever it was previously, and it’s now locked in at that setting for some reason. I haven’t fooled around with my default screen resolution much and honestly don’t know much about how it works or what it affects.
Can anyone give me some insight into what might be going wrong and how to fix it?
