Title: Can not start standalone executable (WIN10)
Post by: bct_ail on March 27, 2018, 02:58:32 PM
OS: WIN10, 64-bit. I have downloaded the standalone executable (3.1.1).
It doesn’t open if I doubleclick. The Task Manager shows a process (electrum.exe (32-bit)).
Right click at the exe takes time to open the context menu. If I click at 'Open' nothing happend

What can I do?

Electrum 3.1.1 version is working on windows 7 just tried last week, but it opens slowly and I heard there is someone having the same issue as yours.

Did you try to wait a longer time or let the computer open before you sleep?

Or better use the 3.0.6 version of electrum it's more stable.

I'm using the same version of the stand-alone executable but on Windows7 (Regularly Updated).

Try opening it as Administrator,  "Windows7 Compatibility" or both.
(Right click Executable->Compatibility Tab->Select Windows7)

That was the point. I was not so patience. It opens very slowly. Took about 4 minutes. Thank you
