Repetier won't start beyond the splash screen...nothing happens
Hi, I can't start repetier since this morning. When I click the icon, the splash screen appears and then disappears and nothing else happens.
Things I have tried:
1. Restart - (no fix)
2. Update drivers (already updated - no fix)
3. Installed clean repetier download (no fix)
I am on windows 10. Please help.

That might be caused by a bad entry in registry - bad meaning leading to the problem. Seems possible also no one could so far tell me what exactly caused it.
So you need to open regedit and in HKEY_CURREENT_USER/Software/repetier you need to remove the part causing the problem. Or just delete the repetier key with all configs. But I'd first try deleting "slicers" subkey or what you changed last time it worked.
I must have Repetier! I will reformat my computer if I have to but was hoping for a cleaner solution.
What happens then? Error message or hang or crash? Messages? Do you see part of the main windows?
Do you have OpenGL driver? One of the requirements to get it working.
Any updates since it worked? Windows update, protection software, ...
I have OpenGL 4.5.
I don't know how to check the windows logs. Should I just reformat my computer?
Try first scanning windows for defects and repair them:

Regarding the events it is not hard but my windows is german so can not say how the names are. But here is a article about what I mean with it:

This is great lesson for Repetier once you get a customer with your product and you will always have them. I grew up with repetier and it's really not easy to switch to another program. The hook was that it was free, which is a very good hook indeed. Now I basically work want to see Reptier become really good. So you basically gave the program free but now I work for you for free...how does that work? I just have 1 suggestion to you Repetier, any way to print "1 item at a time" like in Cura 4.2. If you can program that feature in, people would go crazy. Also while I am riding this high energy. Can you program the new 3d printing style called non planar slicing. This was just discovered in 2019 and if Repetier get this then your deserve the millions. - Vernes
Cura currently is a bit complicated to integrate but it is on the todo. Nonplanar slicing is a complete different technique I think and is quite complicated, so do not expect it in regular product soon.
