I use an Alienware PC running Windows 10. I have 2 monitors and a Wacom Cintiq 16. I've been using Sketchbook for many years without any issues; however, just recently, Sketchbook has been refusing to open. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the issue persists. I have tried uninstalling, restarting the PC, then going into the Autodesk folder and deleting the 8.0 and 8.7 folders before reinstalling Sketchbook, which only temporarily fixes the problem.
When I launch Sketchbook, the window opens, but freezes, and I cannot close out of it without activating task manager. Sometimes, it freezes my entire PC. When launched, it opens up to a blank canvas, though none of the other smaller overlays (layers, brushes, pucks, etc) don't load. Is there any solution to this, or should I switch drawing programs? I have commissions I need to get done.
