Hello everyone. First of all, this is not a question, it is a solution sharing. I was getting a splash screen error for a customer for two days. When I run the program from the desktop shortcut, it says initializing and the screen disappears. Although I tried the first methods that come to mind, such as registry reset, repair, clean installation, scf / scannow from the command manager, the problem did not resolve.

When I looked at the Windows event viewer, I saw that an error had occurred. The details of the incident were as follows:

Faulting application name: SLDWORKS.exe, version: 31.5.0.52, timestamp: 0x65247c81
Faulting module name: libcef.dll, version: 119.4.4.0, timestamp: 0x6564e35c
Exception code: 0x80000003

Application ID associated with the faulty package:

I changed the folder where libcef.dll was located to swcef_old and thought about repairing SOLIDWORKS. When I tried to run the program without repairing it, the program opened without any problems. If you encounter this error, I hope it will help you solve it.

Best regards
