Version 1.6.1 will not run on Windows
I've been doing fine with Handbrake for a few years now. No issues with updates. Today I updated to 1.6.1 and it would NOT run on my windows 10 machine. Just nothing at all.
My machine is about 2 years old and is far more powerful than I ever need it to be. I can generally convert a 2hr movie in less than 5 minutes. Using the installer for 1.5.1 (a good backwards step to ensure viability) also provided the same result. My only recourse was to do a full uninstall via windows itself, then a re-install of 1.5.1 in order for it to work.
I'm sorry, but I don't have an activity log as this is a totally fresh install.
I can only imagine I'm not the only one having this issue. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Re: Version 1.6.1 will not run on Windows
"Just nothing at all" can mean a lot of things in the install process. I've had it when the system decides it doesn't like how the file was copied. And I've had it when the system decides that it thinks a file was POSSIBLY a virus, and hides it.
Are there ANY error messages to help decide what the problem is?

Sadly, no. There is no message at all. It's as if the program crashes the second it starts. The windows cursor does it's busy thing for about 1 second but that's it. I also tried rebooting and restarting. Each provided the same result.
As said, the only thing that worked was using windows own uninstall window then a fresh install of 1.5.1

Reinstall .NET **Desktop** Runtime 6 https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/down ... -installer and see if that helps

Re: Version 1.6.1 will not run on Windows
Hi,
I did as suggested and it worked perfectly. Is this .net desktop routine not something that could be added to the auto installer for handbrake? This way it ensures this required item is up to date?

Re: Version 1.6.1 will not run on Windows
Sadly, I don't think so, otherwise we would already be doing it.

Re: Version 1.6.1 will not run on Windows
Not even as a pop-up advising to click a link to go download it separately? Well, I'm sure the best possible options are already being done. Handbrake is a great product, and in grateful for all that help make it work so well.

I had the same issue today and the .NET update also fixed it for me.

Re: Version 1.6.1 will not run on Windows
I'm glad this thread helped you. Hopefully it will help others that encounter this same issue.
Re: Version 1.6.1 will not run on Windows
I'm confirming the issue... No message/log whatsoever.
i'm running .net v6.0.14
tried to install .net v6.0.13 - I can't since I got the newer version.
tried to uninstall .net v6.0.14 - I can't since I don't have the installed package.
tried to unpack the .exe file to find the .msi file... there is nothing on it (but weird files with no extension).
even tried to uninstall handbrake/reboot/reinstall... no luck.
So... I'm stuck!
I think the problem comes with v6.0.14... cause I use your software each week. since thursday windows update (yesterday, 2023-02-14)... no work anymore.

here the docs for v6.0.14 : https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/mai ... /6.0.14.md
Re: Version 1.6.1 will not run on Windows
Perhaps try re-installing (rather than uninstalling) 6.0.14?
