Thanks for looking into it. It sounds like whatever is going on with my situation isn't easy to replicate - which is good for you guys, but unfortunate for me...
Just to recap my current situation - I installed MadMapper from a Win10 user account that had admin permissions. When I'm logged in under that account, I still can't open MM - the logo screen shows, then the software immediately quits. Trying to "run as admin" from the right-click context menu has no effect.
After I enabled the Win10 "super admin" account and switched to it, I was able to run MadMapper perfectly - it works like a charm.
BUT - when I switch back, it still doesn't work from any other user account. Which sucks, because the rest of my workflow - software, settings, etc. - is tied up in my user account, not the super admin. Trying to manage two user accounts just so I can run MadMapper is a royal pain - and running Windows in superuser mode all the time is a security nightmare.
So, while I am enjoying playing with the new Beta, I still don't have a real long-term solution. I still have a few more tricks to try - I am going to see if doing a full uninstall, then installing MadMapper from the super admin account, solves the issue.
More than anything, I'd like to find out if there are any other users experiencing similar issues. I have had zero problems like this with any other Windows software, ever. I am relatively new to Win10, but I've been a Windows user for over 20 years. The whole thing has been an odd learning experience for me...
