Unexpected fatal error at start

Hello,

Today I managed to brick my Inkscape; nothing can help, even re-installation.

I installed inkscape-1.4_2024-10-11_86a8ad7-x64.msi. When I start it, I get the start dialog, and after "New Document" or "Open" in "Time to Draw" I consistently get:

What I tried:

  • removed ..\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\preferences.xml,
  • removed that complete roaming directory,
  • reinstalled Inkscape,
  • uninstalled Inkscape, rebooted, and installed Inkscape.
  • cleared registry from Inkscape entries manually and re-installed Inkscape.

Please advise how to start it with extra diagnostics and I can post the output here.

Thank you in advance!
