Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Grok Bot

Describe the Bug

Grok Bot 0.24.0 on Windows 10 x64 (AMD Ryzen 7 4700U).

The app opens a white screen for a brief moment and then immediately closes/disappears.
No UI remains and no error message is shown.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install official x64 installer (Grok_Bot_0.24.0_Setup.exe)
  2. Launch Grok Bot from Start menu or desktop
  3. White screen flashes briefly → app closes completely

Already tried:

  • Fully killed all related processes in Task Manager
  • Launched with --disable-gpu flag
  • Clean reinstall (uninstalled + deleted residual folders)

Expected Behavior

The app should stay open and show the normal UI (or at least the “Setting up Grok’s computer” screen).

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Version Information

Grok Bot 0.24.0 (Windows desktop)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Hey @TAKASHI_HATOMA
Your account and Grok Bot computer look healthy on our side, so this isn’t anything you misconfigured - a white flash then the app fully closing usually means something on the machine is killing the process at launch (endpoint security, a locked/redirected %APPDATA%, or a partial install). It’s not GPU-related, so you can skip --disable-gpu.

Right after a launch attempt, could you grab:

  1. Event Viewer → Windows Logs → Application — the “Faulting module name” line from the Grok Bot error entry (this usually pinpoints it).
  2. Your antivirus / endpoint security (Windows Defender or any third-party AV/EDR).
  3. Whether %APPDATA%\Grok Bot exists, and its main.log if there’s a logs folder.

That faulting-module line should tell me the fix. Thanks!
