Question Sigil 1.3 (64) not opening in Windows 10?
I'm mostly a Mac user, so forgive me here -- my ability to solve problems on Windows machines is a bit more limited than it should be.

I had Sigil (1.1, I think?) running fine on my daughter's gaming computer, which has a better graphic card than my laptop, and which is running an up-to-date version of Windows 10. I noticed that I hadn't updated Sigil to the latest version, so I ran the Sigil 1.3 (64-bit) installer for Windows.

When I clicked on the app in the Start menu to open it... nothing. Tried to open an ePub file... nothing. Tried opening the Sigil.exe file directly in the /Program Files/Sigil/ folder... nothing. Looked for any sort of an error log in the folder... nothing. Looked in the Control Panel app for some version of the Console (log reader app) from macOS... nothing. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling... Yeah. You got it: nothing.

Can anyone suggest a) what might be wrong and b) how I might have solved this without having to come bother you kind folks?

ETA: Well, found the Report.wer file eventually. (Attached.) Sadly, it tells me absolutely nothing.
