    It would be really helpful if you could let us know what installation directory you used previously (which did not work) and what you changed it to (so it now works correctly). That way we might be able to fix issues for others who have the same issue you had...

    The same thing happened to me on Windows 10 Pro 21H2. Cura originally installed in the "C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 5.0.0" and it would not start. I uninstalled and reinstalled to "C:\Ultimaker Cura 5.0.0" and it worked perfectly.

    So i ran into this exact problem and tried installing it to "c:/Ultimaker Cura" instead, that did not work, found out in another forum it is being messed with by my multiple displays, it was trying to open on the right display instead of the middle one(main). I just changed the main display to the one cura was trying to open on(right) and BAM it opened just fine. But once its open make sure to go to settings>general and uncheck "restore window position on start" before changing your main display back to normal position.

    I am having the same issue of launching Cura v5.1 and getting the locked up white screen of death!  I tried the above suggestions, for the most part it worked until it came time to "sync" the the white screen of death. I searched for log files and only found 2.

     

    I am running Windows 11 Pro with 64Gb Ram and a Ryzen 9 CPU.

    Hi Guys,  I'm having the same problem on my MacBook Pro.  Installed but it will not launch.
    I'm going to remove then reinstall to see if that helps as it looks like this may have assisted others then I'll report back with log files etc.

    Sorry your having this issue.
    Have you checked the operating system requirements for UltiMaker Cura?
    The release of 5.x series saw a change in OS requirements.

    Glad I ran across this thread!

    I just upgraded from Cura 4.8.2 to 5.2.2 and, upon startup, the get started splash would not let me click the button.  From this thread, I uninstalled from C:\Program Files\UltiMaker Cura 5.2.2 and installed to just C:\UltiMaker Cura 5.2.2.  Success!  I was able to click the get started button on the initial splash!

     

    Windows 10 64 bit as mentioned in the requirements.

    Running Windows 10 Home 64bit and none of the suggestions on this thread work for me. 

    I'm running 3 monitors. When I disable two, I can open Cura 5.2.2 fine, and this seems to be the only way to open it. However, I can then re-enable my other two monitors after opened it with only one enabled, and move the program to any monitor I want without issue. Maybe this is already known but I haven't read about anyone reporting this scenario so I figured I'd add.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        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
        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.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        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.
