Installed version 2023.1.2 the other day and was marking up a video with no issues. Now today it became unresponsive and crashed. There was a crash file that said Kinovea unhandled crash. Error creating window handle.
Now in the log files when I try to launch it just shows this and the application never launches. I've tried an uninstall/reinstall and Windows reboot.

Running it in compatibility mode (Windows 8) allowed me to get it to launch

Any luck with this? I am having a similar issue since a recent Windows update.

Thanks!
