Hi there! I see your First Bus app is freezing about 2 seconds after launching, and uninstalling and reinstalling hasn’t helped. Let’s work through a few steps together to get this sorted.
First, could you confirm if your Windows 10 system is fully up to date with the latest patches? Sometimes the app updates may rely on certain system components.
Meanwhile, try these basics: 1. Clear any app cache or data that might be lingering from the old version. Since you’re on Windows and using WebKit browser, check if the app uses a web-wrapper or if there’s a desktop client—clearing the browser cache or app-specific data could help. 2. Verify your internet connection is stable. A disrupted connection at launch might cause freezing. 3. Close any unnecessary background apps that might compete for resources or interfere. 4. Check if any antivirus or firewall settings recently updated that could block the app from launching correctly.
If these don’t fix the problem, a couple more advanced steps: - Run the app in compatibility mode (right-click the app executable, Properties > Compatibility tab > select Windows 8 or 7 mode) to see if that helps. - Check for any Windows event viewer logs related to the app crash for clues: Go to Start, type “Event Viewer,” open it, and look under Windows Logs > Application for errors around the time you try launching.
Also, the recent update has been reported to cause similar freezing issues for others. The developers are aware, and a fix is expected soon. Meanwhile, if you want to use the app urgently, downgrading to the previous working version could be a temporary workaround (though it requires uninstalling the current app version and manually installing the older one if you can get the installer).
Would you like me to guide you on clearing cache or checking logs? Or if you want, I can share how to try the compatibility mode step next. Let me know!
