STKO does not start
Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2026 6:29 pm
Hi STKO Team,
I am experiencing a persistent issue with STKO v4.1. It stopped working suddenly yesterday and now fails to launch. I have tried reinstalling the software three times, but the problem persists.
After clicking through the initial command prompts, the program opens momentarily (see Snip 4) but immediately closes. I have attached the error logs from the Event Viewer (see Snip 5). Interestingly, after clearing the registry and reinstalling, the faulting module is now listed as "unknown." Previously, it cited an asw*.dll file (possibly related to an expiry date, though it is now blank).
My initial troubleshooting suggested a potential graphics card driver conflict, but I haven't made any recent hardware changes. I’ve been using a learning license for about 18 months on and off without issue until now.
Could you please look into this as soon as possible? I would greatly appreciate your assistance.
