Dear All,
I have just installed FreeCAD 20.1 under W10. When trying to run, the intial start-up image shows and dissappears
but the GUI itself never starts. Nothing indicating that the FreeCAD is running in the TaskManager. I don't have any
weird non-ascii chars in user name.
I tried:
- install for all users
- install just for me
- removing installed python
The log seems to indicate that there is some problem with the Qt but I have no idea how to fix this. I have previously
installed FreeCAD on W7 and W10 but never encountered this issue. Can you, please, advise?

Re: Windows 10 FreeCAD fails to start GUI
If you never had problem before, you should try 0.21, as it uses different libraries. You can also have a look at the Known OS specific issues.

Re: Windows 10 FreeCAD fails to start GUI
I see this in your log, try removing any python related directory from your PATH env variable (system and user).Log: C:\Program Files\Python310\Scripts\
Log: C:\Program Files\Python310\
You may also have some graphics driver issue, if removing python from your PATH doesn't work try doing this https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 46#p624746
Re: Windows 10 FreeCAD fails to start GUI
Thank you adrianinsaval, I removed Python310 from the path, that alone didn't fix the issue. However, when I reinstalled drivers for the Intel HD graphics (with the option to remove old drivers) the FreeCAD started as usual. Thanks again.
