Maya LT 2020 will not run an longer?

[mvtrappett]

I have Maya LT 2020 which would start okay, but for some reason it will no longer start?  You double-click the start icon on the desktop and the Maya Output window loads but stays empty. Then after about 20 seconds, it goes away, and Maya never starts.  It was running fine a week ago, now its dead?  I am fully licensed and this is so annoying.  I am running on a powerful machine, with Win 11, 32 GB RAM, and terabytes of disk space.

Please help!!!

Thank you,

Mark

Did you rememeber to install the MayaLT2020.1.4 update? It is required. More info here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2020/ENU/Maya-Rel...

If yes... what changed overnight with your machine that broke it? Often its an update of some sort, OS or other software (or removal of software). Dig around, try to find out.

Otherwise you're probably looking at a reinstall.

So one issue: 

The latest upgrade to Windows 11 fully supports Autodesk Software versions 2021 and 2022. It is suggested to do a fresh installation of your Autodesk software once you upgrade to Windows 11.Dec 28, 2021

You're on 2020 which isn't .. possible one of the Windows 11 updates might have caused an issue?

I have reinstalled Maya LT 2020 and I am still having the same issues?
Maya tries to start showing the Output window and then dies after several
seconds. I disabled antivirus and VPN and still get the same.

I am to be charged another month's subscription in the next couple of days
and I am thinking about cancelling.

Put a ticket in

Are you still on Windows 11? If so, that's an issue
