I have uninstalled, reinstalled, got the latest update, everything, I cannot run my games at all. It's there in the task manager, but it doesn't actually work. I also get things about setting gamepad counts when I haven't written anything to do with gamepads, please help.

Been having the same issue. I've had to juggle around backup files to try and figure out what has been causing it, because I know my code is fine.

After hours of tracking down behaviors in the IDE by doing different things, it only happens when I create a new object in a group (which I'm having to do lots of right now because I have new items to add in). If I create a new object by right-clicking on the workspace, it'll toss it at the bottom of the objects, and everything is fine. However, if I decide to then move it to a group, it refuses to launch the game (won't show up if it's windowed, but will be a completely white screen if it's fullscreen). If I then delete said object (with or without code in it), the game will run fine.

It's beyond frustrating and has only been going on for the past week or so.
