SU2025Pro - Repeated crashing on startup after changing Monitor

  • Crashes after (or near) completion of opening
  • Tried rebooting
  • Done a repair install with the latest installer (yes, I ran as Admin)
  • Tried logging out (via layout) and back in
  • Everything working yesterday
  • The only change in the system is a new monitor yesterday (1080p to 4k), but it was working yesterday after the new monitor.
  • Tried the old ‘rename the Plugin folder to get the defaults’ trick but it still crashes on startup
  • Sent a couple of bug reports

This one’s got me, I’ve changed nothing (apart from the monitor)

Edit 1:

Ummm, it IS something to do with the new monitor … or more probably the desktop/icon/toolbar layout. When I unplug both monitors and only use the laptop screen, it works.

Isn’t there a pref’s file I can delete to reset things … I remember it be it being posted about previously.

Edit 2:

Annnnd it’s fixed, why? I don’t know, but this time on the 4k, there was a brief flash of the ‘smaller’ layout before everything rearranged to suit. I’m assuming running it on the laptop solo ‘reset’ something.

Edit 3:

It happened again so I followed this post and deleted the pref’s file. It reset all my toolbars etc, but re-arranging them is a small price to pay for a working setup.

I’ll leave this post here so that it may help someone in the future with a similar problem.
