I am experiencing a persistent issue where SOLIDWORKS 2025 Connected fails to launch. The application starts to load, displays the splash screen showing "Loading registry...", and then closes abruptly without any on-screen error message.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken So Far (without success):
- Restarted the computer.
- Attempted to run SOLIDWORKS as an administrator.
- Updated graphics card drivers to the latest version [mention if you tried DDU for a clean install, or if you tried certified drivers].
- Temporarily disabled antivirus and firewall software.
- Performed a "Repair" of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform installation (which manages SOLIDWORKS Connected) via Control Panel.
