Defold not starting

Questions
#1

When i run defold.exe nothing happens

I have tried to troubleshoot this for a while now.
But i couldn’t find an answer or a way to debug it further
i downloaded the latest windows version “Defold-x86_64-win32” from the website “Download Defold” and unpacked the file and tried to run the exe but nothing is happening. I don’t see anything pop up or get an error. I tried running as administrator but same result.

Does anyone have any ideas or tips to troubleshoot this?
any help would be much appreciated.

The editor writes a log file which may provide some clues:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Defold\

Thank you! that helped a lot
i checked the log files and it gave me an error concerning JavaFX
i found this post about it.

and what ended up working for me is removing the “.accessibility.properties” file from my user directory “C:\Users<username>”
