Problem

When opening Fladder on Windows 10, a transparent window is opened but no matter what I do nothing else happens. The application never starts even after waiting for a few minutes.

I had version 0.9.0 installed in January, but uninstalled it after I ran into this issue after using it for a little while. On that version I was able to setup the app and use it for a little while until I closed it. Once I went to re-open it I got the transparent window problem. I uninstalled and re-installed after that but only got the transparent window immediately when I opened it again. I had kept my settings in between installs for version 0.9.

Today I uninstalled version 0.10.1 which I had tried again at the beginning of March, but had the same problem. This time when I uninstalled I deleted all of my settings as well. Today I installed version 0.10.2 and had the same issue immediately.

I have since tested 0.10.2 portable for Windows and the application runs correctly, but only on first launch. On subsequent launches the same transparent window issue happens. Deleting the extracted portable files and re-extracting does not fix the issue either.

After moving the window to a different monitor with windows shortcut keys (Win + Arrow Right/Left) the white rectangle no longer renders but the window still exists.
