Readest Won’t Launch on Windows (Missing Edge WebView2 Runtime) **Symptom** - When you double-click readest.exe, nothing happens. No window appears, and Task Manager does not show the process. - This can affect both the standard installer and the portable version. **Cause** - Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime is either missing, outdated, or improperly installed on your system. Readest depends on WebView2 to render the interface on Windows. **How to Fix** 1. Check if WebView2 is installed - Open “Add or Remove Programs” (a.k.a. Apps & features) on Windows. Look for “Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.” 2. Install or Update WebView2 - Download the WebView2 Runtime directly from Microsoft: [link](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2?form=MA13LH). - If you prefer an offline installer, download the offline package and run it as an Administrator. 3. Re-run Readest - After installing/updating WebView2, launch readest.exe again. - If you still encounter problems, reboot your PC and try again. **Additional Tips** - If reinstalling once doesn’t work, uninstall Edge WebView2 completely, then reinstall it with Administrator privileges. - Verify your Windows installation has the latest updates from Microsoft. **Still Stuck?** - See Issue [readest/readest#358](https://github.com/readest/readest/issues/358) for further details, or head over to our [Discord][link-discord] server and open a support discussion with detailed logs of your environment and the steps you’ve taken. ### 2. AppImage Launches but Only Shows a Taskbar Icon On some Arch Linux systems—especially those using Wayland—the Readest AppImage may briefly show an icon in the taskbar and then exit without opening a window. You might see logs such as: ``` Could not create default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER. Aborting... ``` This behavior is usually caused by compatibility issues between the bundled AppImage libraries and the system’s EGL / Wayland environment. **Workaround 1: Launch with LD_PRELOAD (recommended)** You can preload the system Wayland client library before launching the AppImage: ``` LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libwayland-client.so /path/to/Readest.AppImage ``` This workaround has been confirmed to resolve the issue on affected systems. **Workaround 2: Use the Flatpak Version** If you prefer a more reliable out-of-the-box experience on Arch Linux, consider using the [Flatpak build on Flathub][link-flathub] instead. The Flatpak runtime helps avoid system library mismatches and tends to behave more consistently across different Wayland and X11 setups. ## Contributors Readest is open-source, and contributions are welcome!
