Description
Description
This has been happening for all recent releases for me (last known working version was 2.16.0):
A Procmon trace showed that it was missing VCRedist 2015-2022 x64, so I managed to get it working by installing this with Winget:
winget install Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64

Environment
- Any version after 2.16.0
- Windows 11

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash on Windows 11 with a release after 2.16.0 on a system without VCRedist 2015–2022 x64, using the reported Procmon trace as a reference. Verify that the affected release detects or handles the missing prerequisite, and confirm that the app starts successfully afterward.
