No Viewport/Main Window

Posts: 156
After running DAZ Studio (latest versions) for years suddenly I have no viewport/main window. Daz is running in the taskbar, but there is nothing to see. It is as if the viewport is offscreen or 1x1 pixels.
I have
1) rebooted
2) uninstalled DAZ and installed the latest studio download from DAZ
3) rebooted
4) deleted config files in the Appdata folder
I am using Win10 64bit. I haven't modified my system recently, and I've been using DAZ a lot until this happened.

Just to clarify, it is the entire main DAZ Studio application window that fails to appear. The startup splash screen goes through all the usual steps and then nothing.
If you go to the AppData folder and open the log, what are the last few lines
%AppData%/daz 3d/studio4/
If you install the Public Build (Beta, in the store for free) does that work?

Okay, done as you suggested, (and some more).
So I don't have the problem with the public Beta 4.15.1.72, but 4.14.0.8 and 4.15.0.30 continue to have the problem
At least that probably means it isn't the database corrupted and needing a reset. Can you recall which Viewport Drawstyle the General release was using when it was restarted?
Thanks for having a think ... I think the Beta started up in Filament, but I can't be sure. When I went to bed I am fairly sure I left it in texture shaded, and when I tried to use it this morning there was no main window, and hasn't been since.
I am retired, I use DAZ for hours in a day most days, my system is stable, I don't mod or mess with it, the last Win10 update was days ago, and I've had several years of trouble-free DAZ, so this came out of nowhere :-(
I'm not sure what it might be, sorry.
