GUIDE TO FIX WINGETUI NOT LAUNCHING #2000
Comments
Unfortunately these steps did not work for me... WingetUI did not launch after installing in step 4, so I remove Desktop Runtime 8.0.3 (installed by WingetUI) and installed the linked 8.0.2 but still does not run. Going back to v2 and blocking upgrades... this is sad because WingetUI 3.x DID work for awhile on these machines. |
Can you please look at Event Viewer, under Errors, and see if there is any WingetUI entry? |
Still the same error in Event Viewer... access denied
|
Exact same error for me, after the first message steps |
Please share with me the output and exit code of installing this file: https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/1.5/latest/windowsappruntimeinstall-x64.exe |
|
Didn't work for me sadly. Currently downgrading. |
I'm experiencing this bug too, on this machine. I'm on Windows 11 Beta on an Intel Core 8th Gen with an iGPU. Anyone else with the same/similar config? |
Issue persists after updating to |
Same bug. WinGetUI was working fine prior to the following upgrades today: Error in Event Log --> Windows Logs --> Application ... Fix above did not work. |
@gleib Which Windows 11 channel are you on: Beta, Canary, or ... ? Asking because my non-Beta, Stable Channel Windows 11 machines are unaffected. |
Interesting. Not participating in Windows Insider Channels on this machine BUT do have "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" option set. May try rolling back this latest update and see what happens. |
@gleib I have that option enabled too! |
Decided to proceed with upgrades using winget in the command line. Among the listed upgrades ... |
Hello, Please test this custom build and let me know if it works: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NO8jhMDBPmMGvlnaW5MXv5vjYjvmFJLa/view?usp=sharing Thanks! |
Hello, everyone, WingetUI 3.0.2 has been published. It fixes
WingetUI 3.0.2 can be downloaded directly from here. If the crashes persist, please reply here and I will reopen the issue. |
As noted above ... my WinGetUI installation (3.0.1) started working when discovered and updated "Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime - 8.0.3 (x64)" to 8.0.4. That said, installed WinGetUI 3.0.2 and that is working fine as well. |
@marticliment confirming that WingetUI 3.0.2 resolves the issue. Thanks very much! |
WingetUI 3.0.2 has been released, fixing most of the crashes. You may download it from here
WingetUI 3.0.2 should not crash anymore. Apologies for the inconveniences and for the incompatibilities with .NET 8.0.3 and 8.0.4
If WingetUI is still not launching, do the following steps
a)
WingetUI
b)
Windows App Runtime Main
c)
Windows App Runtime DDLM 5xxx.xx.xxxx.x
d)
Microsoft Windows App Runtime Singleton
e)
Microsoft .NET Runtime 8.0.X (x64)
f)
Microsoft .NET SDK 8.0.X (x64)
If the steps above do not work, please downgrade to version 2.2.0 by doing the following:
C:\Users\<your-username>\.wingetui
DisableAutoUpdateWingetUI
. Make sure to remove the.txt
extension from the file name.Explanation of the issue:
This issue mostly happens due to a bug on .NET 8.0.3 (hence the downgrade to 8.0.2) or for the Windows App Sdk not being installed properly. I am working to fix this issue, but since it is not directly caused by WingetUI, it is hard to fix it.
