I use windows 10, and all my updates are up to date. When I try to open Defold, its stuck on the loading screen. I’ve tried putting the folder in my desktop and launching it from there, I’ve ran it as admin, ran it in cmds and it didnt tell me anything, I’ve done pretty much all I can think of… If anyone knows any other methods I am missing out or forgetting to try please tell me, I’d really like to start using the Defold engine to make games 
It seems like the editor is unable to unpack certain files. Are you sure you don’t have some anti virus or something that is getting in the way?
I haven’t really touched my anti virus at all, so that could be it. Problem is, I dont really know how I would go about stopping my anti virus from messing with it. I’ve turned off real time protection, I excluded the program file from Windows Defender, but nothing seems different.
The log shows:

So something is up with the install. Did you download and unzip the archive and run it from that location or did you move it (the whole folder)? Or is this an install from Steam?
ohh… I installed and unzipped it on a drive, and then moved the entire folder onto my desktop. That’s probably why, I’m going to delete my install and download it from steam, that might work better.
That should work, but perhaps not all files were copied? Let us know how it goes!
Good news! It worked. I guess moving the folder around and unzipping it in the wrong place made it tweak out. Thanks for the help, I didn’t even think of using steam!
