Shaolinbruce Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I have been using paint.net for probably more than a year with no issues, but yesterday I discovered that when I try to launch it, nothing happens. I uninstalled and installed it twice today; I did several troubleshooting and repair fixes that are built-in to Windows 10, but the problem persists. Has anyone else had this problem and, more importantly, been able to fix it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 How are you trying to start paint.net? Via a Desktop icon, or are you double clicking the exe? Tell us how you're trying to start paint.net and then tell us exactly what happens.

Shaolinbruce Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I have tried starting it using the desktop icon (shortcut) and by double clicking the exe. I also tried using the icon in my start menu. Each time, I get the Windows circular cursor for a few seconds, then it disappears. Nothing else happens. Paint.net does not launch. I have checked the task manager, and paint.net never appears there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaolinbruce Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I have been running the latest version of paint.net all the time. I do not have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 installed at all. Will do so in a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaolinbruce Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 I'm happy to report that installation of Microsoft .Net Framework 4.6.1 appears to have solved my problem! I never thought the solution would be so simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
