LabVIEW 2016 (32-bit) Crashing on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit OS

[parthabe]

Hi All,

I installed LabVIEW 2016 (32-bit) on my office laptop configured with Windows 10 Pro, sometime last week. After a week’s usage, it started crashing from yesterday forenoon for no reason. Once the first crash was encountered, it started crashing repeatedly every time I try to (re)launch it. This crash happens immediately after the splash screen is loaded, so that the LabVIEW main window in which a project or a VI can be selected does not even get launched.

Please find below the snapshots of the LabVIEW crash & the System details. Kindly help me out overcome this crash issue.

The closest issue I could see already posted in these forums is,

Forgot to mention earlier...

• Repair & reinstall did not yield anything positive.
• The laptop also has LV 2016 (64-bit), but it is working fine until now.

Did you ever resolve this issue? Reason being, I'm experiencing the same issue running LV 2016 (32-bit) on a Windows 10 platform.

I know it's been 2 years, but if you can remember what you did to fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. I've spent the better part of the last few days chasing this particular issue.

Thanks in advance.

I renamed the LabVIEW folder in "C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2016" to "LabVIEW 2016 Crash" (C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2016 Crash), did a clean install again, and things started working normally!

However, I still don't know the reason behind the crash I encountered earlier. 

A comparison of the 2 LabVIEW installed folders using BeyondCompare yielded zero difference then!
