> Need help I have gone through all the possible forum post in relation to the issue when opening Joplin in Windows, the window is blank. None of the solutions worked, and believe me I have tried everything possible. I have windows 10 and 11 Enterprise version respectively installed on two laptops. I have tried the solutions on Joplin 2.9.17 as well as Joplin 2.10.4. I genuinely want to continue to use Joplin, but cannot get this resolved. Any guidance will be appreciated Peter

> I have a problem with Joplin-2.9.17 on a desktop Mac running Ventura 13.1. When I open Joplin the screen remains white and I cannot quit the program – have to use force quit. I have reinstalled Joplin several times but same issue each time. I have been using Joplin for over a year on this machine without problem and also on my Mac laptop (also 13.1) and Android phone without problem. Could there be something conflicting on this particular Mac?
