I am now in Italy just like you, in Cortina for the Olympic curling HF camera's.
I try you explanations, but do not work.
I find strange, I get it working on an emulation win 11 pro on my mac with latest updates on win11.
But it didn't work on my i7 HP win 11 pro laptop....
It's been a long time since I've seen Windows really block something...
But, back then think the trick was to copy onto removeable media, maybe from a different computer, first.
Windows does seem to track things that are downloaded from the web. But, once coming in from removeable media, like USB drive, think it loses track...
@Ltech Good find! Was thinking that all settings were in registry, but seems they are in this file instead...
Wonder if that's the issue for @JoshW as well...
Maybe this happens when trying to go from a very old version to a new version?
Imagining that the very first thing Spin Tools IDE does is try to open and process this file...
In User map I have ".spin-tools" hidden file.
When removed, the last version is running
I'm glad you found the cause of the problem, although it's surprising because the file contains the IDE settings and loading errors shouldn't prevent the application from opening. The settings should anyway have a default. I tried to set the file as hidden but it works, seems it can't be updated but the IDE works.
I'll do some tests to see if I can reproduce somehow. Any chance you have a backup to examine ?

The most recently used file list can break Prop Tool. Wonder if that is what is going on here…
