Starting a few days ago, Music Bee simply failed to start when launching from the taskbar icon.
I'm using Windows 10, 64-bit, and I thought I had the most recent version of MB.
I cannot find any entry in the task manager's application or process lists for MB.
I uninstalled MB and downloaded the newest installer.
While at the site, I noticed the Microsoft Store link, and used that to install the version there.
It installed with no error, but the application still failed to launch.
I uninstalled again, did a disk cleanup, and re-installed with the downloaded installer.
MB ran fine. I was able to listen to music, and re-organize the interface to my preference.
This morning, however, the taskbar icon was missing, and when I restored it, and clicked on it, I got the same "non-response" - the application fails to launch.
After the failure to launch, when right-clicking on the taskbar icon, I can see several tasks listed for MB:
"Switch to Compact Player"
"Switch to Mini Player"
"Resume Playback"
"Auto Start DJ"
"Play Library Shuffled"
I would think those options only appear when the application is in some state of running.
anyway,
I wish I could provide something more substantive, but since that app isn't running at all (or not showing its interface), that's what I've got to report.
any thoughts?
