Handbrake not starting

[Endersams]

I downloaded Handbrake to compress a video, but when I started it, it just didn't start. I tried like everything, for example: downloading a bunch of .net versions, doing a backwards compatability thingy, downloading an older version of Handbrake.





IDK how to reproduce the problem




My Handbrake version currently is: 1.8.0




I am on Windows 11 Home, 10.0.22631 Build 22631

downloading a bunch of .net versions

if you run dotnet --list-runtimes in a command line, what is the output of it?

Sorry for the late reply, kinda forgot about it.
The output is:

Seems alright I would say.

Try moving/renaming the datadir "C:\Users\rowan\AppData\Roaming\HandBrake" to see, if it starts then.
