Hi Team,
I recently moved my PC and now Retroarch only sometimes opens. I’ve tried chaging video drivers (currently on d3d12) and both xmb and rgui. It flashes to the home screen and then nothing and no games that use Retroarch will open either.
When I restart the computer, it sometimes opens for a few seconds and sometimes it works perfectly.
Any insight?
We would need a log of a crash/failure to even guess.
I’ve been travelling so I just saw your response hunterk. Sorry about that. Here is the log:

Does it do the same thing if you launch from RetroArch and not via Launchbox?
Yup. I can’t even launch Retroarch. It does the same thing; flashes on screen real quick then closes
Ok, just double-clicking on RetroArch instantly closes? Can you get a log of that? (that is, try launching from a command line with --menu --verbose and paste the resulting output here)
