Joplin: Main window is blank after updating to v1.0.196

[oigres200]

Environment

Joplin version: 1.0.196
Platform: Windows
OS specifics: WIndows 10 x64 Pro 1909 Build 18363.720

Steps to reproduce

1. Update or install Joplin to v.1.0.196
2. The main window is blank. The taskbar icon is not shown.

Describe what you expected to happen

Joplin should open my notes and the taskbar icon should appear.

Logfile

I tried but it never generated anything on log.txt and I cannot open the Console tab.

Description

I just updated Joplin to v.1.0.196 and after the install, the window is empty. I cannot access my notes and the taskbar icon is missing. I also noted that opening the task manager, there are four Joplin processes but as soon as I close the main window, all disappear and there's no Joplin process left for the taskbar.

Downgrading to v.1.0.195 restores my notes and everything works as usual.

Attached are some screenshots:

I'm also experiencing this issue. I had to downgrade to 195.

My environment is all the same as the OP's. I'm using JoplinPortable.exe

I'm experiencing this as well, though with me, the window immediately closes. The service is still active, however.

Same issue, downgrade solved it for now! Windows 10 x64 Home 1909

Essentially the same issue here after upgrading on my Windows machine. In my instance when I run Joplin (system wide install) no window opens at all but if I open task manager I can see a single Joplin process running. If I then try to run Joplin again, I get the blank main window that was mentioned by the OP and I can see there are multiple Joplin processes running (currently 4, but I'm sure it showed 2 during a previous attempt). This occurs regardless of whether I let the installer run Joplin, or manually run Joplin after the install process has completed.

Uninstalling then reinstalling 195 works around the issue.

Same issue on linux

Sorry about that, a broken build somehow got released, but I took it out now.

For now please go back to v195, which should work fine.

Scoop pickup the update, I'm not sure of other pack.manager did also ? Any chance you could re-release as V197once is fixed, if possible. Thanks for all your hard work.

[laurent22]

Can the update be rollbacked on Scoop?

I'll release a fixed build at some point but not sure when. Despite all the checks we have in place electron-builder managed to compile and release a broken build, so that will need to be investigated.

[milianj]

The fixed rollback to v195 is now showing up in Scoop with a database update. However, the rollback is not automatic. You can however do a force update to reinstall v195, ie `scoop update joplin -f ' . This works for me on Win10 pro 1909.

[laurent22]

Should work now.
