So I was working on a project in Lightburn v1.4 Windows decides I need an update and reboot while I’m sleeping. Now Lightburn just Sits on the LIGHTBURN splash screen and nothing happens. I’ve tried to uninstall Lightburn, reinstall Lightburn, nothing nothing nothing nothing… I hate Windows auto updates!

I need this working ASAP I have a big show to do this weekend and was right in the middle of a design.

Please help.

      Try holding the Shift key when you double-click to run LightBurn.​
One other thing to try: Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring up the Windows task manager, and look to see if there’s a hung copy of LightBurn in the list. If there is, select it, right-click, and choose ‘End Task’. If there’s a copy already running, it will try to make that one active instead of running a new one, and if it’s hung, that won’t work.
