In all likelyhood, uninstalling/reinstalling will do nothing. The problem probably lies with the data C:\Users\[you]\AppData\local\cura, and that does not get touched when uninstalling/reinstalling.
I know it is not a reinstall issue, but I wasnt sure if just cleaning the folder would work.
clean out your Cura appdata folder etc
The only thing that would influence cleaning the folder would be if Cura was still running. Make sure Cura is not running, move/rename/remove the folder and start Cura again. That should do it.

Renamed fixed it for me.
Try to Uninstall, clean out your Cura appdata folder etc and reinstall.
Seems similar to @LePaul s issue
I deleted the Cura appdata folder and restarted with the same result.
So, I deleted it again, uninstalled the program and reinstalled with the same result. I'm at a loss here. Thanks for answering though.

Thanks for responding but this didn't resolve my issue. I tried a couple different things with deleting the Cura appdata file each time with no change. Thanks anyway.
Do you have Cura 1.99 installed? If so, uninstall that
Also, RENAME the folder "cura.bak" (no quotes) and trying running the program again
I tried a couple different things with deleting the Cura appdata file each time with no change.
Is there a stderr.log file in C:\Users\[you]\AppData\local\cura? If so, could you paste that into pastebin.com and post or dm me a link?

No, I don't have 1.99 installed and I tried renaming to Cura.bak and it still won't get past whatever happens after the splash screen closes. Thanks anyway.

Here is my stderr. Thanks for looking over it for me.
OpenGl fails to initialise. What GPU do you have? Is it possible to update the driver for the GPU?
Are you perhaps operating the computer over a remote connection?

No remote connection. I think I know what's going on here. I ran Cura on this machine last winter before I broke down (The Microsoft popup window wore me down) and replaced Windows 7 with Windows 10. Intel didn't upgrade the drivers for Win10 for this chipset. I'm stuck with Microsoft's idea of drivers that pretty much tie my hands. I ordered a new graphics card.
Thanks for the help.
Edited by GuestI can relate.
Windows 7 ran aweome on my Toshiba laptop (Intel i7, 32gb RAM, 512gb Samsung Solid State Disk)...but the Intel HD 4000 chipset for graphics. But it did well.
Since Windows 10 the fan runs at 100% all the time. Very annoying.
*Update*
Installed a new 1gb graphics board. While I was inside the machine I added another couple gb of memory and upgraded the power supply to eliminate it as an issue.
A few settings in bios, a couple new drivers (not from Microsoft).....
Cura starts!
Thank you ahoeben and LePaul for responding to my post, and ahoeben for pointing me in the right direction!
Time to make stuff!!!
Glad to have helped in my own, small way

UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
ArunC posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,
In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!-

Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
MariMakes posted a topic in Official news,
The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
So what’s new?
The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more
Curious to see the S7 in action?
We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

Cura Alpha With New Tree Support 🎄
MariMakes posted a topic in Ultimaker Cura,
Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.-
