Description

Hello, my DSW installation has been dong this for quite a while now. Basically when it starts by itself at startup it gets stuck with that message, I I close it and relaunch it starts normally and it works. I'm attaching full logs. Any idea how to solve?

Research direction

Start by comparing the attached stuck.log.txt and working.log.txt, then reproduce the difference between launching at startup and relaunching after closing DS4Windows. Trace the startup path associated with the “using shared mode” message; done means the application starts normally without requiring a relaunch.
