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

Settings reset might help. Just run this command once:
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.
