Same for me right after installing:

August 22, 2023—KB5029351 (OS Build 22621.2215) Preview

was working before, so KB5029351 seems to be the culprit.

EDIT: same for store version and portable

Can confirm, installed the app for the first time today and I experience the exact same error.

I got same issue, im an old user from windows 10, when i switched to windows 11 it worked but it does no longer with the last windows update. store and portable

[magnusrambech]

Started my pc today, and it suddenly worked as intended. I did not do anything to fix this issue by myself, other than powering my machine down completely last night. Perhaps worth trying @ItsVanishCat @DoofDilla @Wiiillig ?

Can confirm, rebooted after your comment, its working again. Both store and portable version.

I was encountering this issue using the MS Store version on Win 11 22H2. I completely uninstalled it, rebooted my PC, and reinstalled it. Now it works.

It worked, i just started my pc today and it worked, jumped here to see if any patch notes and found your comment, thanks for telling!

Nvm, it randomly stopped working

[JiaRG]

Restarting the computer solved it 😂😂😂

[tegraion]

I have the same problem.
I'm on Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22631.2271) (KB5030316)

Edit: It is now working properly after the Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22631.2338) (KB5030305) update.

Would like to thank @magnusrambech for mentioning rebooting system! Completely worked for me!

[devmdeniz]

The error occurs when my computer is turned on from sleep mode. It gets fixed after restarting

You actually don't need to restart windows. From Task manager restart File Explorer. Works every time.

[devmdeniz]

@SumitKar01 Yeah actually it's a solution but its not sustainable :/

The same problem as described above. Have de- and reinstalled it about 20 times or so. Runs with Win 7 without problems.
After reinstalling it will run within two or three System-Starts - at least the same once again.

Anyone a great idea what to do?

[lovelumia]

To solve this problem, you don't need to restart your PC or install TranslucentTB again，just open the Windows exploer and restart it in task manager，and then reopen TranslucentTB, you will find that it works properly.

[joaoPGoliveira]

@lovelumia Ty!

[DexteritySZN]

This just happened to me, all i gotta do is go to task manager, completely close it and reopen it. Works like a charm]

[krlosl]

yeah just restarting the pc solved it

@sylveon maybe we (i.e. you) should lock this issue from further comments? The issue isn't solved (to my knowledge), but there are some solid workarounds shared here, and it's getting pretty bogged down with repetitive comments.

@ everyone else: Please read the whole thread before posting a comment. If your solution is the same as someone else's, just give their comment a 👍 reaction. If you want to thank someone for their comment, you can react to it with 👍 or ❤️. Adding unnecessary comments just makes it harder for the developer to actually fix issues. Thank you.
