KLayout Does Not Launch on Windows After Installation

I am currently using a computer running the Windows operating system and using KLayout to convert DXF files to GDS files. However, after installing KLayout on this computer, the program does not launch when I try to run it (there is no response). I would like to ask how to resolve this issue.

  • Please try to rename KLayout's profile folder. It's located at c:\users\<youraccount>\KLayout. Rename this folder to something different or remove it. After that, KLayout should start. If is does, it means, something fishy was there in that folder - maybe some script that is not compatible with the current KLayout version.

    You will need to install settings and scripts or packages again after that operation. If you do this step by step you may be able to identify the component which caused that issue.
