7th December 2023: added payment option Alipay to purchase Astro Pixel Processor from China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and other countries where Alipay is used.
@mabula-admin I did not remove and re-install for everyone yesterday, so yes this is running as "For me only"
Ah excellent, so that is clear confirmation that my workaround is doing the trick, right ? Hopefully it works now well for @rouvinho209 and @technohell as well.
Unfortunately I still have the same issue. But it's ok. It seems to be a problem only on my computer. You've invested so much time on this issue. I don't want any more time to be spent on this issue. My workaround is to use the laptop of my daughter for APP ;-). Many, many thanks Mabula! Best, Rouven

Okay, I really do think that the issue on your system will be related to your graphical drivers somehow. So I would suggest that you try the following if you did not do this already: try to clean up the graphical drivers, so first remove the drivers for your AMD graphical chip/card (was AMD right?) completely. Then install the latest graphical drivers from the card manufacturer or from AMD. (Do not use Microsoft drivers!)
The reason for this is that this morning I got a report by email that that solved the issue on someone elses computer, where APP would not start anymore... since 2.0.0-beta14
Can you please try this 2.0.0-beta24-test4 version?
All the work and testing I already did, made me realize that things should and can work better in terms of startup experience of Astro Pixel Processor.
I have done much more modifications now and APP will now start 4x faster than earlier on my Windows 10 machine, startup time was 10seconds, now only 2-3 seconds. On my mac mini M1 it is only 1,5 seconds now, it was 3-4.
Especially OpenGL initialization is much faster, while testing I noticed that OpenGL really benefits if I let it initialize in it's own separate thread. And this is also might be the solution for APP not starting at all in some cases.
Anyway, please test this and let me know if things are better now ;-), thanks !
Mabula, you were right! Although an AMD graphical driver was already installed, I deinstalled it and set up a new one. Now it works finally 🙂 And it works very fast (2.1 sec!) Many, many thanks!

@rouvinho209 Oh wow, finally ! So it indeed was also a driver issue here... glad that you have found it now !
