Playnite: Crashing on launch after Windows 7 update

[TechLibrarian]

Crashes immediately on launch today. Using the portable version.

It crashes because Playnite couldn't find necessary fonts installed. There was no Playnite that could cause it (last update was a week ago), so something must have changed (uninstalled) fonts on your system if it was working yesterday.

[TechLibrarian]

That was a fast response! Thank you. I will check that out. There was a Windows update since I last launched, so may be related.

Thank you, again!

This is it. It keeps crashing constantly now after the new Windows update. I have not done anything with the fonts or anything out of the ordinary.

I have some bad news. I'm unable to reproduce this on my Windows 7 test machine (the problems seems to be related only to Windows 7 and some recent updates). I'll try to prepare some blind fixes, but it won't be until Monday.

[TechLibrarian]

No problem! Thank you again for looking in to this!
You seem super dedicated and I REALLY like your application so far. Props.

I followed these steps to resolve the issue:

@JosefNemec

@dragonscythe your fix worked for me. I uninstalled net frame, installed from the link above to net frame 4.7. Fired up my computer, installed the latest net frame / windows updates.........Good to go. Thanks!

[JosefNemec]

Thanks @dragonscythe, I'll post about it on social media to let people know how to fix it.

[DennoCoil]

I tried it and yes, uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft's .Net Framework (I replaced 4.7.1 with 4.7) did the trick.

[Albirew]

Got the same problem, installing KB4074906 (Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.1 on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1) solved the issue
