Operating system Windows Joplin version 3.2.13 What issue do you have? Joplin failing to start - error Screenshots [joplinerror.PNG]

It seems you're using windows 7. If so, check out this post [image] Do you still use Windows 7? don't upgrade your sync chain to 3.0 couch_and_lampLounge An unofficial and unsupported way to force the latest versions of Joplin to work under Windows 7 and 8 Ste…

Unfortunately, that suggestion has not helped. Same error :frowning_face:

If you already installed vxkex try running Joplin through vxkexldr.exe by adjusting the paths in its shortcut properties as following [^1] "C:\Program Files\VxKex\VxKexLdr.exe" "C:\Program Files\Joplin\Joplin.exe" Adjust your paths if you have it different [image]

Done. "C:\Program Files\VxKex\VxKexLdr.exe" "C:\Program Files\Joplin\Joplin.exe" which matches the install paths for VxKex and Joplin. New error: [Capture1] Which does not make sense. Where is it getting that path from?

Are you sure about Program Files (x86) / Program Files? Check the location of Vxkexldr.exe manually. Last possible solution is to roll back to 2.12 of Joplin since it's the last supported version on Windows 7

Version 2.12.18 installed and working. Thanks for all the help.
