ANSWERED Eddie UI not starting with Startup

[Professor Kislih Shey 1]

Hey there,

For now almost one week, Eddie-UI is not showing up at startup.
Sometimes its possible to start Eddie-UI manually, but most of the time nothing happens or I get errors till I kill all tasks in relation to eddie.

I tried many different combinations of settings, I unistalled, deleted all related folders and files, reinstalled, reinstalled different versions of eddie-ui - Nothing helps.
Deactivated firewall, Windows Defender also, no effect.

Any ideas?

Noone here with similar problems?

Apparently. I can't remember seeing this on the forums, either. Must be a local thing.

Found this thread and another similar one, but it doesnt seem like they found a way to fix it.

After hours of work I fixed the problem.
Its not 100% sure what fixed it in detail.

Did a whole CCleaner registry-fix, after this I deleted the Eddie-Startup Reg-Key manually.
Now it seems to work fine again.

I remember this fix, it's for a specific version change only, something along the lines of 2.17 or 2.18 to 2.20. You needed to delete a certain registry key related to the elevation helper for Eddie to work.
Where I didn't see a connection is that Eddie didn't show for you. For others it always showed an error about not being able to raise privileges.

But you fixed it yourself, very good. Enjoy
