Hello, my slicer was working very well with blender, now I double click on the slicer.exe and it isn’t working.  
I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, it worked for a day, then the same problem recurred.  
Did any one face a similar issue and how to resolve it.

Do you have multiple displays? Is this a Dell PC?

It sounds like this display driver issue:

> \- Operating system: Windows only
