Hi,
As of today - my BRU installation stopped working at all (Windows 11). I did uninstall and install it again - no difference.
Also moved a portable installation from one PC to the problematic one - same result - it does not start.
What could be the problem here ?

What version of BRU?
Check Task Manager & see if "Bulk Rename Utility.exe" might have hung (as a Process)?
So you throw in the Portable, click, "Bulk Rename Utility.exe", & nothing happens?
Compare the contents of the (Portable) ZIP with that which you extracted to disk.
Are they the same? (If not, then maybe your antivirus deleted a needed part of BRU?)

I have the same issue.
No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall the current version or an older version, or whether I use the portable version, it just won't start. It doesn't appear as a process in Task Manager and it has been given super trusted status in ZoneAlarm.
The installed version worked a few times, seemingly randomly, when I first installed Windows 11 Pro, but it hasn't worked for months. The portable version worked exactly once.
Does BRU rely on any Windows files?
I sorely miss it. I've tried several alternatives and they're just nowhere near as good as BRU.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
