same here on windows 10
app starts with a blank Screens

On Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 1.8.15+1 would launch a blank window and close itself in short time

It doesn't print anything to %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming\com.bostrot\WSL Distro Manager\wslmanager_01.log. In fact, the file isn't even created.

1.8.14 can still be launched normally, so it seems something is wrong with 1.8.15+1 version.
