Storyline 3 stuck - says "Initializing commands..." - all after the Windows 10 "upgrade
Hi there, Scott. Slowly back away from the pistol.... 😉
Can you try something for me? End any Storyline processes you have running, do a reboot, and then right-click your Storyline 3 icon on your desktop.
Go to Properties in the dropdown, and then click on the Compatibility tab in that window. If you are allowed to, check the box to run the program as administrator.
Then try to launch Storyline 3 again. Let me know what happens, and then we'll see about next steps!
Hi Crystal,
Thanks for your levity - and for your solution. That seemed to do the trick. I got Storyline 3 to launch...finally. But while we're on the subject - what's with all of the constant reactivation all the time? Between version 1, 2 & 3, I'll bet I have "activated" each of my products over 20 times. Why wouldn't I activate a product once, and then have it activated for the rest of the time I was using the product on that one machine? It doesn't take that long to complete the process, but I'm just curious why a "non-subscription" product requires constant re-installation and reactivation all of the time.
But again, my thanks for helping solve the "sticking" issue - that seemed to work well. Now if you get Storyline to run two times in a row without having to activate again, then you'll be a true miracle worker!
Best,
Scott
LOL! Just did a Windows update, and you saved me again.
Hi Crystal, I too had the same problem and your recommendation did solve the problem for me. Is this a temporary fix?
