Unable to start VideoStudio Pro 2021 on Windows 11

[puzzled]

Hello,

i tried the various methods of installation, for example only installing the main programm without extras, but it ends always with the programm starting, showing the splash screen, then in the background the black main window is shown. After a short while the main window closes. The splash screen stays for a couple of extra seconds and the closes. During the startup there is no error message. The program just closes "automatically".

I tried starting as normal user or as administrator always with the same results.

My system specs are:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor
32 GB RAM
NVIDIA RTX Graphics Card
Windows 11 Home 21H2 - German

Thanks in advance.

There have been some problems in running 2021 that appears to be associated with the New Blue filters, a recommendation from Corel to uninstall New Blue immediately after installing but before launching the program.
Quote......
“You can install all the bonus features and before launch go to C:\Program Files\NewBlueFX\uninstallers and run the uninstallers.
After which VS will launch without issues.“

Hope this helps
Of course waiting in anticipation for a fix from Corel

Thank you (lata) for your quick answer . Sadly the problem still remains unchanged.

I have completly uninstalled the VideoStudio 2021 Pro (no other version is or was installed on this system) and then started the cleanup tool. I have repeated the installation like you discribed but had no success in starting the program.

IMHO this silently failing method of error handling is the worst possible way of "handling" errors
