Storyline 3 stuck - says "Initializing commands..." - all after the Windows 10 "upgrade
I have had a host of problems after the most recent "forced" Windows 10 upgrade. My audio driver for my preamp no longer works and now Storyline 3 freezes. It gets to "Initializing commands...," and then nothing. Anybody have any advice? If firing a pistol through the PC is all you have, I've already thought of that, trust me. After Microsoft threatened this upgrade for weeks (and literally did it when I wasn't looking...), it finally completed the upgrade, completely blew my audio system out of the water and now threatens my us of software as well. I'd love it if anyone has any ideas about this...

Like Luis, I can't get into my articulate 360 or articulate 3. While "Initializing Commands" I get an error message...."A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." Support just sent me a link to try some things that didn't work.
Hi Colleen,
Really sorry these steps didn't help! We want to get this sorted out as soon as possible, so I've reopened your case with our engineers. They'll reach out soon to investigate this further.

Same problem with Storyline not launching after an Windows update. Will try the suggested fix.

The fix was easy enough (right-click and run as an administrator) but significant time was lost realizing it was a problem in the first place (it looked as if the application was just taking a long time to load, so this, along with rebooting the computer, was tried several times) then troubleshooting.
John, thanks for coming back with what worked: Launching the program as administrator.
I'm really sorry that you lost time working through it, but it's much appreciated that you shared the fix for everyone! Please let us know if you need anything else.
