those who are having trouble with game not running, try uninstall all .net sdk then reinstall the .net sdk 8.0 x64

Aight, just tried with .100, clean install (on top of the clean windows install yesterday) still the same issue. i'll see if i can rollback the 10/9 updates

Edit: Can't roll back, just going to dual boot win10 i guess lmao

appreciate the help, unfortunately can't rollback without another fresh install. just setup dual boot so we'll give that a shot. either way it's getting some data, really seems to be related to the latest win11 updates

The verbose.log just spams this when the 'Game Not Running' issue occurs.

I had this "game not running" problems after the .NET.8.0.20 Updates from Windows Update after 2025-09-09. Deinstalled all .NET.8.0.20 apps and .NET SDK 8.0.120 and installed .NET SDK 8.0.119 https://builds.dotnet.microsoft.com/...19-win-x64.exe
Then ExileApi was running again. But Windows Update will install the update to SDK 8.0.120 again if you are running updates.

the recent windows update broke the launcher. make sure your .net runtime is not 8.0.20 and disable windows update for a while

[Dutchw]

OK solved it
I was only rolling back the .NET Runtime and not the Windows DESKTOP runtime
once I rolled back BOTH .NET AND Desktop Runtime it is back working

[AzraelM]

I managed to get mine to work by uninstalling the windows runtimes as well

[cheatingeagle]

For those of you unable/unwilling to roll back the runtime I've made a 8.0.20 compatible version. It has some issues, please pay attention to the release note on github.

Best cheating engine I have seen!
