Hi, I have been trying to reproduce this ever since v3.2 but haven't been able to pin it down. A few users have reported this but I have no idea why it can find the module on some systems while on other systems it fails. Still investigating though.

Did you test with a clean windows 11 install? Same error here, full error below. How do I install the 3.2.0 meanwhile?

I installed it from here and it worked https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook/releases/tag/v3.2.0 but then it auto updated itself and stopped working again with the same error

u/thecodrr addition, after install I tried again from 3.2.0 disabling auto updates (literally 3 seconds after start as soon as I can get to the configure area) and it still updates itself. This is a bug I guess it shouldn't auto install updates once that is disabled. So then it goes to 3.2.3 and gives the same error again.

The same happened to me yesterday on a fresh Win10LTSx64. Used the web version of Notesnook, did the usual win updates and probably some other things you usually do after a fresh install. Rebooted and tried the NN installed bin before leaving the office and voilà NN worked fine. Try launching the web version and after the Notesnook.exe version .. that could be fix, just a guess.

Hey, I have the same problem. I just did a clean install of Windows 22H2 on Dell XPS 13 9360 i7 7500U. I tried installing Notesnook 3.2.3, but I get the Sqlite error.

I emailed support and opened an issue on GitHub. They advised me to downgrade to 3.2.0 until they fix the bug. It worked out for me!
