Yep... I have the same problem... Working good on win10 though.
Doesent matter if it from store or from here... Same thing... I didn't tried to install older versions though...

I believe I may have fixed this issue, could you try a dev build from here? https://github.com/t1m0thyj/WinDynamicDesktop/actions/runs/2573755334

If you scroll to the bottom of the page, there are artifacts and you can download an EXE for your platform.

No luck, I'm still getting the same issue with this build.

What were you doing with WDD when the error happened? Were you opening the Select Theme dialog and did you have the Ventura theme selected? Asking because I found another bug related to that scenario.

[thushanperera95]

Yep, opening the Select Theme dialog after going through the set location setup.
It's a fresh install - so I don't have any themes selected.

I also got a crash happening to me on WDD startup, that only begun after latest Windows Update KB5016695 and KB5016591, that updated Win 11 22H2 and .NET 3/4, to Windows version 10.0.22621.457 (Release Preview), maybe the final build for public worldwide release of Win 11 22H2 next month.

[2022-08-23 19:32:11.514] System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
at WinDynamicDesktop.WallpaperEngine.RunScheduler(Boolean forceImageUpdate)
at WinDynamicDesktop.AppContext..ctor(String[] args)
at WinDynamicDesktop.Program.Main(String[] args)

Happens with or without scripts installed. No theme active. Windows Store latest version 5.0.3.0

WinDynamicDesktop.dll.log
debug.log

I workedaround my startup crash by setting an active theme in AppData\Packages\WinDynamicDesktop\LocalState\settings.json:

"activeThemes": [
"Windows_11"
],

before it was null. So the code using this array should expect null value in it.

[t1m0thyj]

This should be fixed in v5.1.0.
