Hello,

I’m having an issue with OpenStudio on Windows. The application (openstudioapplication-1.6.0, version 3.6.1) cannot be opened directly by double-clicking the OpenStudio.exe file. When I try, the interface just stays stuck on the loading screen indefinitely.

However, if I open an already saved .osm file, the program launches normally. Is there a known fix or workaround?

Thanks in advance!

On another computer I’m experiencing a different issue. I cannot open an already saved .osm file by double-clicking it. The only way it works is to first launch OpenStudio.exe and then use File → Open to load the .osm file.

Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can open .osm files directly by double-clicking them?
