I am having an issue where I cannot open Solidworks from the 3DExperience. It crashes immediately after opening. This is with hotfix 1.8.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same problem. I have tried uninstalling all things on my computer related to Solidworks, 3DExperience, and Dassault. I then went in and deleted all related files/folders from program files and AppData. Then I installed again, still crashes immediately.

I've tried all the steps in troubleshooting including bypass Solidworks settings, bypass graphics card/driver, restart connector processes, clean embedded browser caches, and clean the 3DExperience temporary directory.

I then tried another install where I manually selected the version and did SP1.0. This still crashes. I tried 2026 SP0. This also doesn't work.
