EPG123 Client GUI won't load in Win11

#1

After "upgrading" to Windows 11, WMC 8.5.5 and EPG123 stopped working.

I was able to get the EPG123 "Configuration GUI" to load again after downloading/installing the latest update, but the client GUI immediately closes the moment it's launched.

This might be due to WMC not working. Attempting to reinstall WMC fails b/c it thinks it is already installed. I'm hesitant to uninstall/reinstall as I had it all set up & working under Win10 after a bit of effort.

Anyone else experiencing issues with EPG123 and Win11?

EPG123 works fine in Windows 11 but it needs WMC to be configured and usable because it reads and writes the database.

Yeah, thx for the reply. I ended up doing that full uninstall & re-install last month.

Fortunately, "EPG123" retains all of your channel information, so the only thing I lost was my recording presets.

you should be able to get them back using the epg123 transfer tool
