Hello, I believe I had the same problem. I was using the latest 0.19 version just fine, then I wanted to install fcgear workbench for tests. It had just come to my attention that a new version was published, if I recall correctly I first tried adding fcgear to 0.19, it crashed on startup, then I installed 0.20 which launched just fine. After installing the above workbench, it crashed on startup again. I googled a bit and found the present thread plus the following: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 9&start=10
I also have Greek letters as Windows 10, 21H2 username. The issue, however, is fixed with the latest weekly version.
