    Do you get any type of error or does it just not open? Does Launchbox still work? If LB works, check your antivirus and see if it blocked BigBox.dll or BigBox.exe.

    Hopefully Im not too late, but I fixed my issue on windows 7. Note: the issue is avoidable, but make sure you look at where you have launchbox installed first on your drive, then when installing select the same folder. I made the same mistake coming from 1.9 because I haven't fooled around with the latest launchboxs and forgot.

    Its I fixed my issue. Im not sure what step did it, but its working now.

    I removed all microsoft programs, netframeworks, c++,     "I had alot of programs listed"

    I renamed my current Launchbox folder in my c:drive to Launchboxold

    I installed the Launchbox 11.4 in c:drive, it made me download and install .netframework 48      ndp48-web, and windowsdesktop-runtime-3.1.8-win-x64.      "I think launchbox still would not load"

    I updated my gtx1050ti graphics card driver with latest, and when it was finishing, it made me download 2x windows update files for windows 7, windows6.1-kb4474419-v3-x64_b5614c6cea5cb4e198717789633dca16308ef79c            windows6.1-kb4490628-x64_d3de52d6987f7c8bdc2c015dca69eac96047c76e

    I restarted computer for these 2 windows 7 updates "note: I turned off my win7 updates"     Now it works

    I renamed the newly installed Launchbox folder to LaunchboxCOPY, and renamed my original folder from Launchboxold to Launchbox 

    NOTE: because of my multiple updating to 1.4 attempts, my original folder is updated to 1.4 when I launch it. Im using win7 pro, with no rivatuner and no antivirus
