Comment 1 Halla Rempt 2021-08-31 17:03:18 UTC
a) No, uninstalling and reinstalling Krita doesn't wipe your settings. This is intentional.
b) This is, of course, a problem with your particular system and not a bug in Krita: most likely you have an outdated or broken graphics driver and will have to reset Krita's settings so it will check again whether your system can properly support canvas acceleration.
c) To figure out what's going on, please add the contents of help->system information for bug reports to this bug as an attachment, and check whether there's a %APPDATA%\kritacrash.log file, and if so, attach that as well.
d) To learn how to reset Krita's settings, check the FAQ:https://docs.krita.org/en/KritaFAQ.html#resetting-krita-configuration

Sadly non of the file you are asking me are generated or not where you pointed out. So I can't share you those reporte. the lunch is litteraly where it freez, I don't get anykind of menu, the window is fully blank. The command shift+alt+ctrl do not work either and I have upgraded my graphics pilot (graphic card brand new and perfectly fonctionnal with everything else) and reinstalled Krita, still the same.

I'm not sure what to do then -- I don't think you would be able to install and use a debugger application. There must be something wrong with the GPU drivers on your system -- or, do you have any "security" software installed other than what comes with Windows (i.e. Windows Defender)?

   Sorry for the late delay answer, In the end it must one of those file
   that are left despite the uninstall because when I purged appdata file
   it had eliminated those tied to Krita and everything has work out.
   Still an issue juste to found them, I know you probably have a reason
   but those setup files where the ones corrupting the whole thing
   dispite a relunch.


   Ho well it's fixed now for me so, I won't need your help anymore.

   Have a good day!
