Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached darktable_bt_3JDVR3.txt logfile and reproducing startup on Windows 10, both directly and by right-clicking a picture. Trace the failure shortly after the splash screen shows “keywords table configuration”; done means darktable 5.6.0 starts normally through both launch paths without the crash.
