This morning my copy of Studio 2021 suddenly stopped opening after clicking the desktop icon. Clicking the .exe file itself in the Studio folder doesn't do anything either. There's no error message or anything, and it doesn't show up in Task Manager. I've tried repairing the install, uninstalling/reinstalling and resetting the user settings. I've also checked/repaired the Windows system files. Is there anything else I can do? Like I said, this just started this morning, it was still working yesterday, and there haven't been any updates in the meantime.

Note that Multiterm does open, but with an error message: "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} failed due to the following error: 8007007e The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)." This message is shown a few times, then Multiterm opens. Perhaps it is related to why Studio isn't opening?

Can you help?

Thanks, Robert
