Opening darktable on new pc, just immediately starts-stops

[kofa (István Kovács)]

Try the instructions from this post:

I can't get Darktable to work anymore

That means: press [Windows key + R] → type cmd, press Enter type "c:\program files\darktable\bin\darktable" -d common, press Enter (or -d all instead of -d common) The logs will be in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\darktable\darktable-log.txt. If your Windows is not English, the paths may be different. For example, instead of Program Files, it could be many other translated paths (Program Files - Wikipedia).
