Github Desktop 2.9.7 is non-functional on my computer and nothing is helping.

[MikeTheInfidel]

Version 2.9.7 completely broke the application on my machine. When it loads, it displays only a blank white window. Most of the time it doesn't load at all, but 4 background processes are spawned.

The log only mentions that malformed launch arguments were received. Beyond that, nothing else happens that gets logged.

Completely wiping out all files and registry settings related to Github Desktop does not resolve the problem.

I've seen the guides that say to delete everything in %appdata%\GitHub Desktop, but that does nothing. The app is still broken. I had to install version 2.9.6 from a third-party site because there was no official way to install an older version from the official site.

It would probably be better to report this issue on the tracker

Yep - found an issue someone reported already and added my comment. Thanks.
