SUMMARY Since I upgraded kdenlive from 20.12.3 (which was fine) to 21.04.0, it crashes on startup without any error message. On the next startup, kdenlive proposes to delete the configuration files. When I press Yes, it keeps popping up again. When I press No, it closes the program without any error message. I have some kdenlive crash dumps in "C:\Users\larsen\AppData\Local\CrashDumps\". Deleted "C:\Users\larsen\AppData\Roaming\kdenlive" Deleted "C:\Users\larsen\AppData\Local\kdenlive\" Deleted "C:\Users\larsen\AppData\Local\kde*" Tried the nightly "kdenlive-master-758-windows-mingw_64-gcc.exe" Windows 10, 20H2 with all updates. Using the installer, not the standalone package. From the event log: Protokollname: Application Quelle: Application Error Ereignis-ID: 1000 Aufgabenkategorie:(100) Name der fehlerhaften Anwendung: kdenlive.exe, Version: 0.0.0.0, Zeitstempel: 0x00000000 Name des fehlerhaften Moduls: msvcrt.dll, Version: 7.0.19041.546, Zeitstempel: 0x564f9f39 Ausnahmecode: 0xc0000005 Fehleroffset: 0x000000000005d2f1 ID des fehlerhaften Prozesses: 0x4c8 Startzeit der fehlerhaften Anwendung: 0x01d747f5d0bc834f Pfad der fehlerhaften Anwendung: C:\Program Files\kdenlive\bin\kdenlive.exe Pfad des fehlerhaften Moduls: C:\WINDOWS\System32\msvcrt.dll Berichtskennung: d7657d18-cc2f-4dd6-a72a-15cd143f58a2
Please try the following: - delete the folder C:\Program Files\kdenlive and try to install 21.04.0 again. If Kdenlive 20.04.0 still crash at startup - download kdenlive-20.12.3.exe from here https://download.kde.org/stable/kdenlive/20.12/windows/ - and install it. - Check if it runs. - Then uninstall 20.12.3. - Then install 21.04.0 again.

Ok, this fixed the problem. Didn't find the other bug report before as there is no "crash" in its title which I looked for. Also, had downloaded the new version on April 27th when there was no warning. So, sorry for the noise ;-)
Thank you for the feedback. Glad to hear it works.
