Bugs & Feature Suggestions • Re: The problem with starting the program

Hey, we've had people on Discord with this exact same issue, Rainmeter opening (showing the skins) and closing after a seconds, reinstalling did nothing and there were no errors in the Event Viewer.

Can you provide a bit more info?

I know Rainmeter is programmed to close itself when loading dlls that don't exist (like winlanapi.dll which is loaded by the default Illustro skin), are you on Windows Server?

Do you have a NVIDIA Graphics Card? I think NvCameraAllowlisting64.dll and whatever G-Sync usues usually tries to inject itself into Rainmeter and crashes, all dlls that get injected into the main Rainmeter process make it crash/close

Have you also looked in the Event Viewer close enough? One of the users who reported this mysterious problem had a single log with a report, after that, Rainmeter started to experience the same thing as you, it stopped reporting logs and the only log

Code:

Faulting application name: Rainmeter.exe, version: 4.5.21.3750, time stamp: 0x65e24711Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.19041.3996, time stamp: 0x39215800Exception code: 0xc0000374Fault offset: 0x00000000000ff349

which means STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION which means some system files are corrupted, can you run System File Checker and DSIM to see if it fixes anything?

The only pattern I managed to notice was that (in order) the persons who reported were Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Lithuanian, it's probably not the cause for this crash but I find it funny it's only people with crylic keyboards.
