Sketchup 2024 crashes on startup.
-
Often when sketchup 2024 is started for the first time, the program crashes, then I restart again and sketchup starts normally without stability problems. Is it possible to know why it crashed? Is there a log to view? Maybe it's a plugin incompatibility.

Have you tried a 'Repair' ?
Close SketchUp.
Find the v2024 installer's exe file [probably in your Downloads folder - or get a new download]
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > Run as administrator
When prompted choose 'Repair'
When it's completed try SketchUp again...Double-clicking the exe to 'Run' it is not the same thing, even if your normal user account has admin powers...
Make sure you have the newest copies of all Plugins/Extensions/Libs installed and restart SketchUp to sync everything.
If you still think it's a Plugin incompatibility then there should be an error message at startup, or if you close SketchUp with the Ruby Console open it'll open on a restart showing any error messages, otherwise try disabling a suspect, if your not sure move around half of your plugin RB files temporarily into another folder [move the most suspect RBs first], if the issue persists you know the bad RB is still loading, but if it's cured then move those RB files out into another folder and retest, otherwise now add back half of the first RBs if it's still OK the issue is in those remaining, so move the RBs into the temporary folder, retry with a half of the remainder etc until you narrow it down to a few and you should find the culprit... 128 > 64 > 32 > 16 > 8 > 4 > 2 > 1

@TIG
Seems to have solved it thanks to your suggestion of sketchup restore. If the problem returns I'll let you know, thanks
