Description

Hey,
I installed SMM3 (SatisfactoryModManager v3.0.0-beta.1) yesterday and everything was working.
Today I tried to run it again and it will not load the main window.
The .exe shows up in the task manager for a few seconds and then disappears again.
I uninstalled and deleted the SatisfactoryModManager folders in AppData/Roaming and AppData/Local and then installed SMM3 again, but it is still not working.

I was not able to locate any logs. Where would I need to look for those?

There is always the possibility that either Malwarebytes or Windows Defender is blocking the file, but I did not get any notification from them.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the SMM3 v3.0.0-beta.1 startup failure after reboot and inspect the executable's behavior in Task Manager. Locate the application's logs under AppData/Roaming or AppData/Local, then identify why the main window exits and confirm that SMM3 starts normally after the fix.
