Description

When updating to a newer version of the GUI, it opens to a black screen if a previous version has been installed before. A workaround exists where you rename the new exe but this should be fixed.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the black window after installing a newer GUI version over a previously installed version, then compare it with the renamed-executable workaround. Done means the newer GUI opens normally without requiring the executable to be renamed.
