Please open CMD and type filebot -script fn:sysinfo and see what it says. Maybe the console output will give us some hints as to why it's not working.

1.
Looks good. Now run just filebot to launch the GUI and see if the console shows any errors.


2.
Are sure that FileBot is not opening? Or is it just not opening within the visible screen bounds?

hi, i have the same problem. i looked at the task manager and confirmed that the software is indeed not running.
so dragging the window on screen is not an option.

EDIT: there appears some error with the java run time env.

Thanks for the crash report. Direct3D is crashing the JVM. Turning off Direct3D will probably work around the problem. Alternatively, updating your graphics drivers might be a solution as well.

Run this command and then try again:

Code: Select all

setx J2D_D3D false

Code: Select all

filebot
See FAQ for details.

after disabling Direct3D filebot starts but shutsdown after 2 secs.

I'm on the latest nvidia drivers.

I was having the same problem. FileBot would not launch after creators update. After a reboot, I was notified that there was a Java update available. FileBot worked after applying the Java update.

Installing, updating or uninstalling Java has no effect on the Windows Store version of FileBot because that version has it's own private JRE and does not use the one installed on the system.

Please purchase FileBot from the Windows Store. It'll probably work out of the box.

I've not seen this one before. Unfortunately, I can't reply in detail right now because I'm on my phone.

The error means that FileBot can't access its own files. That doesn't make sense. It might indicate a severe issue with your hard disk about to die, or Windows NTFS / filesystem abstraction layer somehow being broken or interfered with. Very strange indeed.
