Cura 2.6.2 won't run on Windows 10 1511

Double clicking the icon or right click and run starts the spinner spinning and then it goes away. No error but also no Cura.

Did cura 2.6.0 or 2.6.1 work for you?

Same story here except my windows version is 8.1.

Cura 2.5 worked fine.

I had tried an earlier version of cura 2.6 and it didn't work either, so when I saw that 2.6.2 had been released, I tried again but no luck.

I get no errors, I click on it and see the splash screen and then it just stops executing and disappears from memory.

I get the same thing.  2.5 worked fine  2.6 and beyond will not start,  splash screen starts then goes away and the program ends, no errors. Windoqws 10 x 64 32gig ram, 2 nvidia ti980 cards.

Anyone get a fix for this? I tried disabling SLI on my video cards, I tried disabling 2 out of 3 monitors, disabling Avast, and still splash screen and then dies. I have the latest video drivers and windows updates.

Thank you

In C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\cura\2.6, there should be a file named "cura.log". Could you upload that somewhere (eg on pastebin.com) and post a link here?

For me at least, this was caused by having a custom printer defined with dual extrusion. Moving the "cura" folder out of AppData\Roaming (I'm on Windows) allowed Cura to launch. Reverting to 2.6.0 did not fix it.

Hello, I did not know there was a folder in Appdata\roaming. I removed that folder and it loaded fine. Thank you!
