Hi everyone, I’m having an issue when trying to start the Zwift app on my PC. The application does not launch properly and either crashes immediately or fails to start at all.

Same issue for me. this issue appears with the last update of Zwift app and i never encountered this kind of issue since 2020. it’s the first time i have issue with Zwift i already tried to restart my PC, clean data, reinstall Zwift, update all my drivers of my PC but the issue is still there

Same here. Last update breaks Zwift

Have the same problem after updating yesterday. I press Lets Go on Launch App and nothing happends Never had any issues with the app before

I can’t replicate this on my PC so I don’t have a solution for you. I suggest contacting support (all of you).

same as Paul, my PC is fine (both my main Zwift rig and my cheap laptop both run the new update without issue). Both on windows 11.

I have the same issue, launcher appears, disappears when I click “let’s go” and then… nothing. It’s really frustrating. I already uninstalled twice, cleared cache, reset the launcher, rebooted etc.

I think if everyone in this thread who is having issues launching the game could list their full PC specs, that would help narrow down to what the issue is. Simply saying my PC won’t run Zwift isn’t going to lead us to any clues as to why only some systems are being effected.
