Articulate Storyline 360 crashing after recent Windows 11 update.
I just recently install the Windows 11 update and Storyline is crashing after it. I can open the app in my computer and work as normal but when I try to Preview slide or scene or even publish the course, the app is closing. It closes without saving the changes.
Can you help me find a solution to this situation. Much appreciate.

Same issue.
I installed Windows 11 version 22H2. Preview doesn't work and the timeline in SlideView doesn't play when I start it.
I did a clean installation of Articulate 360 but the problem occurs randomly on some project files and on others it does not (I tested a dozen on my local hard drive).
I restored the previous version of Windows 11 (21H2) and now all the project files work perfectly. - JeanMarcBITA244Community Member
Hello,
I don't know if it has anything to do with this new Windows 11 update version 22h2 but I found that the slides that used certain bulleted lists were causing the preview to crash.
I am attaching a file that shows the bulleted list that is causing the problem.

Jean Marc, I just tested this on my project and as soon as I changed the bullet points to the square style, I was able to Preview and no crash. Support is working on a ticket for me as well. Hope this is solved with an update soon but at least I have a work around.
Thanks!

Jeffrey, pleased that this interim solution will allow us to move forward.
Hello All,
I'm happy to share that today we released Storyline 360 (Build 3.68.28773.0), which includes the fix for the bug below:
Storyline Crashes when the File Contains Text with Filled Round Bullets when Previewed
Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app! If you run into any other snags, you can reach our team in this discussion or a support case.
Hi Martha,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this snag. There could be two things that's causing the behavior, and here's what you can do for each situation:
A. If only one of your project files is causing Storyline 360 to crash, some form of corrupted data in your project file could be the cause. If this is the case, open a case with our support team and attach your project file there so we can correct your project file for you.
B. If all of your files are affected, and you are working locally when making changes to your project file, I'd recommend doing a clean install of Articulate 360. Here's how:
1) Close the Articulate 360 desktop app by right-clicking the Articulate icon in your computer's system tray (by the clock) and choosing "Quit."
2) Go to your Control Panel and uninstall all Articulate 360 apps, including the Articulate 360 desktop app, Peek 360, Replay 360, Storyline 360, and Studio 360.
3) Download and extract this zip file on your computer: http://articulate-360-kb.s3.amazonaws.com/360cleanup.zip
4) Right-click the 360cleanup.bat file and choose "Run as administrator." The script should only take a few seconds to remove all the Articulate files and registry keys from your computer.
5) Reboot your computer.
6) Download the latest Articulate 360 desktop app here: https://360.articulate.com/downloads
7) Right-click the articulate-360.exe file and choose "Run as administrator."
8) Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app and click "Install" beside each authoring app you want to install.
9) Reboot your computer and test your Articulate apps.
Let me know how it goes!- DanaRemian-4742Community Member
I followed Joe's instructions and the issue resolved for me.

Same issue. First, I tried the uninstalling and reinstalling of Articulate 360-- which made things worse and Storyline seemed to keep crashing every couple of minutes doing simple things, such as copy and paste (so, addition to the Preview issue). I'm now uninstalling Windows 11 (ARM version, mind you) updates to take it back prior to before the 9/23 update. Hope it works, but its not like we can stop updating Windows indefinitely, so hope Articulate looks into it as well.

Same problem.
I have installed Windows 11 version 22H2. Previewing and publishing do not work. I tried joe's procedure, but it didn't work and unfortunately I can't go back to the previous version of windows. I'm a bit confused. Hello All,
Sorry to hear that everyone encountered a similar situation.
I'd recommend reaching out to our support team by opening a case so we can help everyone affected by this behavior individually. We're here to help, so don't hesitate to start a case!

I was directed to this conversation by Jean Marc. My Storyline has been crashing when trying to do Preview or Publish as well. I have three projects with slides that seem to be causing these crashes. How can I get support on this?

I am not able to roll back my Windows 11 2H22 version so I hope there is another solution.
