Describe your issue

WinGetUI was working well after updating to v3.00, then I upgraded to v3.01 and it no longer launches. There is no message.
I have removed the app and the app's appdata folder and reinstalled and it is the same behavior
I have removed the appruntime and singleton as directed in a similar bug and it is the same behavior
In Windows Event Viewer | Windows | Applications there is this entry at the time I launched WinGetUI
