    Hi,

    I have been using Codesys v3.5 14.0 for some months on Windows 10 with no problem.

    Today when I tried to run I received an error after splash screen:
    "Failed to instantiate the frame window.
    Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
    The application will be terminated."

    I updated to V3.5 14.1 to see if this fixed the problem but no change.

    I did a quick search and found suggestions on this forum to uninstall and reinstall, I have done this but also no change.

    Only things that I know of that have changed since last use are:
    Windows updates
    Installation of Sophos Safeguard (required by IT policy)

    Any help?

    Hi,

    "c:\Program Files\CODESYS 3.5.14.10\CODESYS\Common\RepairMenuConfig.exe"

    Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying - I have been on another project.

    I tried this today but the problem remains

    Can you or your IT department check if the Sophos Safeguard blockes or quarantines any files which CODESYS uses? Especially the installation directory.
