Garmin Express crashes at startup

After the latest update, I cannot start Gamin Express any more. At startup, after a few seconds, I get a message box telling me "An unexpected error has occured.." Then, the program closes.

I found log files in C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Logs\Express. The latest one starts as follows:

    Thank you for the information. Sleep Mode in Windows is notorious for causing trouble with everything from Network connections not reconnecting, to hard drive fans not running, to different programs crashing and even the BSOD (Blue screen of Death) error. Disabling Garmin Express from running in the back ground should help reduce the crashes. You would simply start it like any other application when you wanted to use it. Please check out the FAQ :Is it possible to prevent Garmin Express from running in the background on my computer?

    Again, I am sorry for the troubles. Let us know if this change reduces the number of crashes.
