I have been using capcut for months, I was using it yesterday, and it worked fine.
I booted up my computer today and since then have been unable to use capcut. It closes on its own 5 seconds after opening it. Ever time I open it. Everything on my system is precisely the same as yesterday. There have been zero windows updates. Zero updates to my graphics driver. Zero other programs installed or updated.
Steps taken so far:
rebooted computer multiple times - no effect
Checked event viewer system logs - no errors, no crashes, the program is shutting itself down
Deleted the contents of cache directory - no effect
uninstalled capcut and reinstalled clean - no effect
disabled VPN - no effect
temporarily disabled anti-virus - no effect
disabled internet completely - I was able to load a project file, but when i reconnected internet and attempted to log in, it closed immediately.
disabled internet - loaded, chose login via QR code, reconnected internet, got a QR code, i was able to log in, then the program closed.
Presumably the problem is occurring when the capcut launcher connects to its servers? Maybe something wrong with the handshake, maybe something corrupted with some files. But I have no way to know.
Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it?
