All of a sudden my Vassal 3-7-15 software will not run anymore on my Windows PC, even though it worked fine for many weeks before.
My PC uses Windows 10 Home, Version 22H2, OS build 19045.5011
The problem emerged yesterday. Initially I rolled back a Windows security update that had been installed on 16 Nov, and thereafter was able to start Vassal, but as of today I’m not able to run Vassal, no matter what I do.
When I try to run Vassal, the main Vassal window (with all the game modules) shows up for a second and then closes down automatically by itself
I think that was not an error log from a previously failed Vassal start. Meanwhile I rebooted my PC several times and then suddenly was able to start Vassal again.
Additionally I had uninstalled a Windows (security) update dated November 16 and stopped automatic Windows updates for the moment
Not advisable. Perhaps check your computer clock - from the log above

it seems like your computer has perhaps travelled to the future - your post was at 2024-11-20 02:32 (GMT+1). That can be a problem for Windoze security checks.
Just a thought - might not be the problem.
Oh, and when pasting a log, put ``` (3 back-ticks) before and after the paste to make it easier to read
thanks for your additional response. My computer clock is actually fine. I live in New Zealand, and that was indeed the local time when I submitted my post
Cheers
