HELP! FluentFlyout instantly crashing

[xLewiii]

The program was working perfectly fine but I needed to reinstall Windows 11 so I downloaded FluentFlyout back again.

I tried downloading it via MS Store, WinGet and on GitHub releases (also manually installing the certificate), but I had the same results with all three.

When I open up the program, it does seem like it's loading, I also can see the task on the task manager, but it just closes in less than a second.

Please let me know if I can give any more information.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @xLewiii, are you able to show your log files? I might be able to assist you further once I have a look at them!

Hi @unchihugo, these are all the logs I have on that folder.

Thank you!

Thanks! Looks like the logs are pointing towards a Windows audio service being disabled that prevents the app from starting. When you've reinstalled Windows 11, did you disable some Windows services? That might explain why it's crashing.

Yeah I installed a playbook that removes Microsoft AI, telemetry and stuff like that.

Can I manually activate those services that the program needs? Let me know if I can test it.

Thanks for your time!

Hi! I've been able to fix it by enabling NPSMSvc with this PowerShell command:

sc.exe create NPSMSvc binPath= "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted -p" type= share start= demand error= normal obj= "NT AUTHORITY\LocalService" DisplayName= "Now Playing Session Manager"

Thanks for your help!!

No worries, I'm glad you found out with service to enable!
