Everything works fine, but when I try to open the app, nothing happens! 
Having the same problem here.
OS version: Windows 10 Enterprise (Version 1703 OS Build 15063.1746)
Tried both the installer and portable version. Windows event log gives me these two events:

</Event>Hello, could you please let us know the following info:

- What are the user rights used (admin’s account or not)
- What are corporate security policies? (in case of an organization)
Hello, could you please let us know the following info:
- A version of Visual C++
- Version of.Net Framework
- Is there any Antivirus App installed?
- What are the user rights used (admin’s account or not)
- What are corporate security policies? (in case of an organization)
I am also having issues. Just downloaded the latest version. Using Windows 10 Professional. The app doesn’t start at all when clicked. I tried running as Administrator, disabling both Windows Defender and Malewarebytes and even restarted my computer and it still won’t load the app. I also have the latest Visual C++ and .Net Framework installed.
You may like to try out just released alpha version Lunacy 4.0.0.1 - Ready To Use <<< Significant performance increase!
Has this been resolved?
I’m seeing the same issue, with the same application log messages, for both the version from the windows store and for 4.0.3; I have the most up to date .NET and C++ redist, the links you provided before will not install, as I already have more updated versions. Antivirus is Windows Defender and it is not stopping the program from running.

Could you please send us files from this folder:
(system disk):\Users\ (current user)\AppData\Local\Icons8\Lunacy\Logs
There is no such folder.
There are Lunacy dups in the CrashDumps folder. Would any of those help?
We would recommend you to update your OS till the latest actual version. According to Microsoft, it should help with the 0xe0434352 error. This regular error arises after unsuccessful OS update.
Same problem over here. I downloaded the latest version from the site. Installs just fine. However, nothing happens when I open the app.
Downloaded the latest alpha version. Nothing happened the first time I ran it. After that it does show the loading visual but it still doesn’t do anything.
Finally, I tried disabling my antivirus, but that did not help.
Any ideas?
Hello, Milan! Let’s try to figure it out!
First of all, I need to ask you about your OS. Which build of Windows are you using? Would be cool if you could take a screenshot of your Windows About page
Start>Settings>System>About>Windows specifications
Are you using the latest GPU drivers?
Is everything okay with system rights? Have you tried to open the installer as an administrator?
Hi Artem!
Yes, I’ve tried running both the installer and the app as an admin. It did’n change anything. My GPU is up to date,
Here’s the About page. I might have worse problems than just opening Lunacy 
as having no processor is a bit weird, gotta admit.
Heyo!
Hmmm…Are you using the latest version of .net framework & visual c++?
If this will not help I will advise updating your OS to the latest version.
BTW
Could you tell me which CPU and GPU are you using?
Yes, .net and c++ are up-to-date as well as the OS.
It’s an i3 5005U and a Radeon R7 M360.
Your OS is not up-to-date. 1803 build is Apr. 2018. Actual version is 1903. We can reproduce your environment only if you update your OS.

Since neither the store not the direct download app were running, I downloaded alpha 4.0.0.1 and have been trying to launch the x64 version (x32 also fails)
I should add that I am running Windows 10 Pro Version 1903, build 18362.418.
Update
Installed the latest updated vc_redist.x64.exe and now is working.
Having the same issue, first tried from the windows store, tried to launch it multiple times, tried to launch as admin, nothing.
Next downloaded the windows installer, same thing, it doesn’t launch at all.

Thank you a lot for helping us to make Lunacy better!
We were able to locate the problem with the help of the logs you’ve sent us.
The next version should be working fine on your PC, but if you experience any issues with that, please let us know about it in this thread.
The planned release of the next version of the App will happen in a couple of weeks.
