    Please help, I use Inkscape for work and the IT department can't seem to work out what is wrong.

    Any time I try to open Inkscape it brings up the below screen saying it has crashed and will now close.

    I have tried deleting, reinstalling etc but to no avail. This started to happen when a couple of programmes were installed on my laptop, namely R and GITHub. GitHub has now been removed but Inkscape still isn't working.

    The OS is Windows.

    It looks like this report: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/9878

    I'd uninstall Inkscape completely and delete the directory ..Users/your_username/AppData/roaming/Inkscape.

    Then restart the machine and install Inkscape 1.3.2 using the .msi installer:  https://inkscape.org/release/1.3.2/windows/64-bit/
