SOLVED | Cannot successfully run FileBot after 4.9.1 update

[CarmineBorland]

Issue: Since updating to v4.9.1 for Windows, whenever I attempt to run FileBot, it opens up as a blank window. I can verify that it is open (as a window) when I look at task view, and I can see FileBot running in task manager as well.




Attempted Troubleshooting:

• Uninstalled and reinstalled using the official Windows installer available on the Filebot website FileBot_4.9.1_x64.msi

• Attempted to turn off hardware acceleration, although it no longer appears to be as straightforward as it once was on Win (I am a layman, so any advice is welcomed)

• Using task view, attempted to 'snap' the FileBot window back to my main display, in case it was lost of screen somehow

• Updated Java

Thank you for your help, I really have enjoyed using FileBot over the last few years.

What does filebot -script fn:preferences say?

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:preferences

You could try resettings all remembered window positions like so:

Code: Select all

filebot -clear-prefs

Update: I executed the following;

Code: Select all

filebot -clear-prefs

in command prompt based on @rednoah's suggestion, and that seemed to do the trick. Cheers again mate!

What did filebot -script fn:preferences say though? Otherwise we can't figure out what was wrong in the first place.
