I just purchased a Lenovo Yoga 900 2 in 1 laptop. Basecamp 4.5.2 installed and ran initially, but when Win 10 updated the last time, Basecamp tries to start but quickly quits with no error message. A small window appears, but fades away too quickly to read. Basecamp runs fine on my Win 10 HP desktop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Basecamp 4.5.2 with no success.

    it installs and runs

    Installed both BC and Mapsource on our new Asus X550ZA with quad core AMD A10 qith 8 gb of ram. Both installed and run; had to do the google earth patch to get them to launch that but all is working well even the latest GE.......how about that even a blind hog finds an acorn once and awhile:D
  • Yeah, that’s my understanding too, Garmin BaseCamp mainly switches between 2D and 3D viewing modes rather than having completely separate versions. Sometimes those display or rendering issues are tied to corrupted system files, graphics drivers, or leftover settings, so a clean Windows reinstall can unexpectedly solve problems that regular troubleshooting misses.

    It’s similar to how some creative apps suddenly start working properly again after resetting corrupted components or reinstalling dependencies, especially with graphics-related tools. I’ve seen a lot of users run into similar problems with Paint 3D as well, and this troubleshooting guide covers several common fixes:
