Twine 2.2.1 crashes on Windows 10

Question

For some reason Twine 2.2.1 crashes on my Win10. I also have Twine 1.4.2 it runs fine.

When I start Twine 2 it comes up with the window, but after 2-3 seconds of loading and nothing shown yet in the window it just close the main window and nothing more happens.

In the Task Manager it shows and then closes.

I have tried the 64 bit version as well as the 32 bit version.

So what to do to fix this?

The most common cause of this problem is a corrupt "User Data" directory.

To fix this, open Windows Explorer (not to be confused with Internet Explorer), then navigate to "C:\Users\(your user name)\AppData\Local\Twine" and there should be a "User Data" directory there.  Rename the "User Data" directory to anything and then try opening Twine again.  If that works, then just delete that renamed directory.

If that doesn't work, we're going to need more details, but usually that does the trick.

Hope that helps!  :-)

It helped. Worked like a charm.

I think my flaw was to install an older version of Twine after I had installed Twine2.

Now it works.
