Version Notice

This document applies to v3 (C#/.NET + Avalonia). v3 is in Alpha stage; if you encounter startup issues, try the solutions below first and report to the developer.

Symptom 1: Program cannot start after changing settings

Solutions:

    1. Close the program (check system tray or Task Manager to make sure it fully exits)
    1. Reset configuration: choose reset config in safe mode / recovery page, or delete the config directory (data directory/config)
    1. Restart the program
    1. Reconfigure in Settings
    1. If you believe this is a bug, send the problematic config file to the developer for diagnosis.

v2 Users

The old (v2) config directory was program directory/app/Settings. v3 uses a new data directory structure (lists, history, proofs, config). Old v2 config is not auto-migrated; you need to reconfigure.

Symptom 2: Program stuck at "Register URL Protocol" then crashes (v1.3.x historical issue)

Solutions:

    1. If this happens on first launch, try restarting the computer and check whether SecRandom auto-starts. If auto-start succeeds, the problem should not recur
    1. If it does not auto-start (a DLL error window may pop up), try downloading here and installing the VC++ runtime
    1. Restart the computer
    1. Restart the program
    1. If the problem persists, report to the developer

v3 Note

v3 is built on .NET 10 and no longer depends on the VC++ runtime; for URL protocol registration issues, check system permissions or antivirus interception.

Symptom 3: v3 prompts missing .NET runtime at startup

Solutions:

  • v3 installer versions are usually self-contained; no extra runtime needed
  • For source or slim portable builds, install the .NET 10 runtime
  • Check system architecture (x64 / arm64) matches the package

Symptom 4: v3 cannot start normally after a crash

Solutions:

  • v3 has built-in crash recovery: on next launch a recovery page shows (with error info); choose auto-restart or view logs
  • Choose the recovery method in Settings → General → Basic → Crash Recovery
  • Check the crash cause via the Log Viewer or log directory, and report to the developer
