AUTOCAD LT 2017 cannot start or uninstall after Windows 10 Fall Creators update

Anonymous — Tue, 13 Mar 2018 00:13:00 GMT

AcadLt2017 clashes after the windows 10 update. I have tried the options mentioned in the forum without success to make the program starts. My last option is to uninstall the program and see whether the problem could be fixed. The program clashed even during the uninstall progress. Could anyone please help with that? Thanks.

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

Clashes? Please explain.. What items have you already tried? Have you performed a clean uninstall per these instructions?

NOTE: The information within the article is solely based on you performing a clean uninstall of all "core" Autodesk products on your machine. In certain situations, you will most likely not be removing all of your Autodesk products to resolve a given issue. If that's the case, you'll need to adjust those settings and locations within the article to make sure you are not impacting those other Autodesk products you plan on leaving on your machine.

Hi Mark,

The link you provided appears have been moved. Could you please provide a new link? I cannot start the Autocad Lt program. It stopped with a message saying that AutoCAD LT Application has stopped working. It also happened when I was uninstalling the product which stopped me to complete the uninstall process. See the screenshot attached

I found similar problems that happened to other users and there are solutions provided below

Tried all solutions listed in the link without success. It would be good if any new solutions can come up with.

Please try to review the suggestions in this post, Windows Security Updates & Defender (anti-virus). After uninstalling or fixing the operating system try to use the application again.

Hello @Anonymous,

Have you confirmed that you have a recent Windows update installed, you can check your Event Viewer to confirm this. Search for the event error or launch AutoCAD then locate the event error.

If you can confirm that you have a recent Windows update installed & that it seems to be the cause of the issue:

Then, try to uninstall the Windows update
Test AutoCAD by launching it
If necessary uninstall AutoCAD & reinstall it
Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10

Let us know what you discover with the suggestions provided.
