Description Daimonicon 2024-11-30 14:51:10 UTC 
SUMMARY
The application only starts with a white window. Nothing happens even after several minutes. In my case, 8.3.0 is replaced with 8.5.0 and the problem then occurs - so the DB and settings may be from the previous version.

While the white window is open, there seems to be no background activity.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Replace 8.3.0 with 8.5.0 under Win 10 with existing Settings and DB 

OBSERVED RESULT
White Window

EXPECTED RESULT
App start and Workready
