Sigil 0.9.6 64bit runs fine for me in a Windows 10 Virtual Desktop.
There have been isolated instances where people using 64bit Calibre have suddenly had inexplicable 'start up' problems on Windows 7 and 10 that were eventually solved by switching to 32bit (installed or portable). Most are chronicled in Calibre/Devices threads.
In a couple of cases all the remedies I could think of were tried -- disabling AV/FW, renaming calibre's configuration data folder, using safe mode, removal of plugins, complete uninstall/reinstall (including manual registry cleaning), relocating configuration, temporary, and cache folders via Calibre's environment variables, disabling startup tasks, uninstalling shell extensions... i.e. everything short of reinstalling Windows itself -- all to no avail.
Are there any other packages that are engineered to run on Windows
32 and 64 bit, OSX, and Linux that use Python and Qt. They are the obvious things that Sigil and Calibre have in common.
