[Tex/LaTex] TexMaker does not launch

texmaker

I have been using the editor TexMaker for a while now and all of the sudden it just stopped working/launching. I am using windows 10 enterprise. It is hard to describe because when I double click on the texmaker icon or after choosing a file and open with TexMaker, I see texmaker.exe appearing on the task manager and the bottom task bar but nothing else is happening. I tried to deinstall and re-install it several times, but no success. When I use a different editor, e.g. texworks, the file compiles normally. So I gather that there is nothing wrong with miktex 2.9.

Sorry, for that ambiguous error description. Any ideas? Unfortunately, google couldn't help this time. I would not like to change editors to be honest.

Thank you!

This is an old thread, but I was having a similar problem and didn't need to re-install, deleting xm1 solved it by itself (though it looks like all my settings are gone).
