    Please try a clean install of HM2. This will preserve your database and backup your HUD and settings.

    1) Export any custom HUD configs.
    2) Open the HM2 > HUD Settings > HUD Designer menu > Click 'Reset' > [x] All Configs > OK

    Step 1 – Restore Default Settings:
    First try restoring your default settings, often some settings files can become corrupt and cause these issues:
    http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...fault+settings

    Step 2 – Uninstall and reinstall HM2 with Revo uninstaller:
    Other times critical system files may not have been installed on previous updates and it can also cause these types of errors or in some cases antiviruses may have removed files that it mistook for unsafe. Doing a revo uninstall also removes old registry file information which might have become corrupt. You can download the free version here: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_..._download.html and there is a useful tutorial how to use it here:
    http://www.guidingtech.com/457/revo-uninstaller/

    Uninstall Holdem Manager 2 via Revo unistaller and then reinstall this version:
    http://www.holdemmanager.com/downloa...er_2_Setup.exe

    Please add this file to your firewall and antivirus exceptions and run it as Administrator.

    Step 3 – Follow the steps in this FAQ:
    http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...olders+HM2+use

    Step 4: If the default settings work, please use the FAQ in step 1 to restore your settings and test them. If the problems then return you will need to reset your settings to default again and use those going forward.

    If you continue to have problems, please duplicate the issue and send us log files with a detailed description of what you were doing and what problems you were experiencing:
    - Open Windows Event Viewer's (Control Panel > System & Security > Administrative Tools or Start > Search > 'Event Viewer') > Windows Logs > Applications.
    - Check for any errors and send the information (Save All Events As...).
    - Please send your \HM2Logs folder files as well - http://hm2faq.holdemmanager.com/ques...ger+Support%3F

    When sending any files please zip them (right-click > send to > compressed folder) before attaching them to an email. If the attachment is larger than 10MB please upload them to a file hosting site like dropbox, then right-click > 'copy public link' and paste the download link directly into the support ticket email. If you have any problems with dropbox try using filedropper.com

    I have the same issue, unfortunately i did not find a solution either, I thought it could also be some windows update, or having the Windows Defender active, but nothing like that has worked.

    Could someone help? The tips above did not work for me. I would like to find some workaround before sending the logs.

    Thanks!

    Did you send in a ticket with the logs, windows events, and a link to this thread?

    Finally I resolved the problem following the instructions on this link:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...c-695b60477a93

    I put a brief manual in case it may help someone, apparently the problem were some corrupted files:

    1. Open a command prompt as administrator
    2. Execute DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (please, mind the spaces in this line!) - it takes sometime until it starts (minutes), and the whole process is like 30 minutes long
    3. Execute sfc /scannow (again, mind the space)
    4. Restart

    Everything was back to normal :-)

    I had the same problem today and I tried to fix it like sup4randr4w told above.
    The whole process just took 2minutes and for both commands no faults were found.

    Thanks, like I said I have done all of that except sending you the Logs.

    When I tried do so so I saw that there was a windows update available and scheduled for 2 days ahead. I did it manually and now everything works again.

    So you can add "check Windows for update" to the list.

    Thanks

    Thanks, I updated our canned reply for this issue to lead with that.
