Have you tried using the FileBot (platform) launcher?

Have you tried using the FileBot (console) launcher and see if there's any error output?

That's odd, if it doesn't even show any errors then I have no idea what's going on. Maybe Windows put the FileBot window outside of the screen bounds? If the window is just off-screen, then simple Windows shortcuts like Win+Left might help you center the window back on the visible screen.


Settings reset might help. Just run this command once:

Code: Select all

filebot -clear-prefs

Have a look at this thread:

Resetting preferences works. Had the same problem after going from a fairly old release (at least 1 year) to the latest one outside of the windows store.
