B&R Automation Studio won't open. It briefly appears in Task Manager and then closes

Automation Studio Task Manager opens and closes after a few seconds. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but it didn’t work. I even formatted my PC, but it still didn’t help. I don’t understand why. How can I fix this?

I do not know. But there is a similar discussion with some questions and tips on what to check: Automation Studio can`t start

If you’re talking about AS 4.x, maybe this could be the reason:

What version of AS are you installing. Please see if this solution works for you.

I tried and installed it, unfortunately it didn’t solve the problem.

I tried what you suggested, but it didn’t work. I installed the latest version, that didn’t work either. Then I installed AS_4.12.2.93, still didn’t work. I’ve been trying for 5 days but I can’t get it to work.

-Defender antivirus is off
-.NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 3.8 are enabled
-No special characters
-I started the computer as administrator
-I deleted the C:\Users{Username}\AppData\Roaming\BR folder

@eem.ferhat I see one input from @alexander.hefner that is not in your list of things you did:

  • as @alexander.hefner wrote in the comment, Do you see any exception information in the Windows system log?

I downloaded and installed the Technology_Guarding.exe file, but it didn’t work.

Hello dmr,
Try to open Evet Viewer in Windows. Try to run Automation Studio, and see if any errors appear in Event Viewer ?
Have you ever had Automation Studio installed before on this PC ?
Wasn’t AS on your PC previously with a corporate license ?
Do you have the latest version of CodeMeter installed and do you see an active license container there?
User Software - Wibu-Systems

Which license for AS are you use ? (Free, Dongle, SW license ) ?
If you don’t have a license, request a free 90-day license on the B&R website.
Then enter the code into Technology Guarding and try to license AS
