Re: WWB15 not opening
As you report no other issue with the laptop and you state WWB version 14 loaded without problems..
I suggest you open a folder window.
On the left panel are the quick access icons. Click on the C: drive
Then click on Program Files
Navigate to near the bottom and you should see the folder titled 'WYSIWYG Web Builder 15'
Go into that folder and right click on 'WebBuilder.exe'
Select 'Run as Administrator'
If you don't find it in Programs Files, try looking for it in Program Files (x86)
I have made the assumption that you have not specified an alternate location for WWB 15 to be installed in a different location.

'Check for updates' is OFF by default. So, the old settings still exist because a clean install would not display this message.
This indicates that you did not completely uninstall version 15.However, the window telling me that there was a new version available did appear.

Re: WWB15 not opening
With the problem WWB15 version I have tried all three ways that you have mentioned plus going to the Program Folder and opening directly from webbuilder.exe, all with the same result; it initially opened then closed.
When I opened the WWB14 version as a test, I opened it by double clicking the short cut icon; it opened without a problem.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have already tried this but with the same result, unfortunately. I am baffled as to what it could be. Any other suggestions very gratefully received.
Re: WWB15 not opening
OK, so please could you explain how I completely remove all traces of WWB15? FYI The way I uninstalled was to go to the Windows 10 App window, find WWB15 and click the Uninstall Button.Pablo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 7:34 am You wrote:This indicates that you did not completely uninstall version 15.However, the window telling me that there was a new version available did appear.

Re: WWB15 not opening
Uninstall via the control panel should remove all settings. But this may be blocked by your firewall or virusscanner.
You can also do this manually by removing this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pablo Software Solutions\WYSIWYG Web Builder 15

Re: WWB15 not opening
I have a question by uninstalling with revo pro did you do a deep search?
Revo Uninstaller -User's Guide7
Advanced-includes the Moderate mode and performs a deep and thorough scan to find all of the application's leftoverinformation in the Registry and on the hard drive. This is the slowest mode
This way you have to select everything (registery entries) then click delete
after that you can choose to select remaining files and maps on your pc
when you use this method you don't have to mesh with the registery yourself

Re: WWB15 not opening
I have done this manually by removing this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Pablo Software Solutions\WYSIWYG Web Builder 15
Now what should I do?
Re: WWB15 not opening
I did do this before and removed everything (or so I thought). I have now done as Pablo suggested and made a manual removal from HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Not sure what I do next though. I now have a laptop without WWB installed but not sure the way forward. Any advice very much appreciated.Fender wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:08 pm I have a question by uninstalling with revo pro did you do a deep search?

Re: WWB15 not opening
SUCCESS!!!
Thank you so much Pablo, Fender, BaconFries, SamT, zinc, alan_sh, bkjohns, and WWBman for your time and support helping me with this and I am sorry that I am so rubbish at the technical side of things. I am so very grateful to you all. For the record, the thing that made the difference was when I removed the registry key as suggested by Pablo.
Best wishes from a very happy Idler
