Not used MM for a few weeks but was working fine until I came to use it again, when it stuck on splash screen on startup. Have to End Task to remove splash. Uninstalled, reinstalled with latest build from main site - same. GPU drivers utd. Same result running NoGPU. Unable to locate MM5.DB and don't have a MediaMonkey5 directory, just MediaMonkey, but there is no .db, MediaMonkey.ini, persistent.json or MetadataCache\. Deleted old MediaMonkey4 directory, but nothing in it. Uninstalled and installed MediaMonkey_2024.2.0.3167. Rebooted. Same. Think there has been a Windows Update since last used successfully and looked through KB and Forum which prompted above steps.

Re: MM2024 sticking on splash screen
I think the latest beta I saw was MediaMonkey_2024.2.0.3167, but, as mentioned, I had the same issue with that too unfortunately.

Re: MM2024 sticking on splash screen
Very humble apologies for not responding, but due to a family medical emergency, I have not been back to my PC until now.
As it happens the first thing I did was upgrade to Win 11, and shortly afterwards retried MM5/2024, which started first time. Thank you for responding and apologies for not getting back sooner.

Re: MM2024 sticking on splash screen
Version 3178 was released with some fixes for the hang at start problem and has been reported by affected users as starting reliably so far.
If hangs are still a problem for you it is worth getting that version - latest at time of writing.
Cheers
