nothing works anymore, suddenly [solved]

Could you try if an older version (aka before 9.6) still works for you?

it crashes consistently anytime i try to open something

like the portable one? i don't have access to older versions

github.com/YACReader/yacreader/releases/tag/9.5.0

There are four build versions for Windows. Please try a version without "7z" in the filename first. If that works, please try a version with "7z" in the filename too.

Addendum: These builds have different extraction backends. I'm curious if using a different backend solves your problem or if an older version still works for you.

i fixed it, i uninstalled for the umphteenth time but this time i hunted down all the registry and all the cached and AppData folders down, i practically nuked it out of the system, the uninstaller provided with yac does't get rid of all the "leftover" data, i saw that because it kept some memory of the last configurations (as in compatibility mode and prefs of the application)

in short, used the nuclear option, now works.


thank you all

great!!
