Support and Feedback / Re: MC not starting after updating to v16.0 (build 3186)
« Last post by Mathias (Author) on July 13, 2026, 10:36:54 »Hi Mathias, thanks for your quick reply.
I'm running it on Windows 11 Pro (26200.8655).
My user name does contain a special character "é", but MC has been working fine until today within the same path.
I tried Portable version from an easier path. First run was ok, I restarted it and I'm getting the same error again, pointing at the same original path (AppData\Roaming...).
I'm attaching one of the logs I got.
Xml handling in MC is done from a 3rd party library. and all of them are updated. and I saw something that they do not handle Windows UTF16 encoded path anymore.. so must be UTF8 encoded.. so I think that that might be the reason

Maybe it is not portable and reading settings from other settings folder and that had the change to CustomKeymapping.xml that was not needed. since the issue was something else ?

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on July 13, 2026, 09:29:44 »I can't replicate that..
What OS ?
You have any security software that might block MC from reading it ?
You have something else that are unique for your system ?
Do you have special characters in your user name ? so the path to the config folder has none standard a-z character ? if yes.. Do portable version work if started from a folder in the root eg C:\MCPortable16\
Is there anything more details about the error in the error log , the latest *-MultiCommander.log located in
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Logs\
(look in the last couple of row in the file if there are any information about it)

Support and Feedback / MC not starting after updating to v16.0 (build 3186)
« Last post by ncodina on July 13, 2026, 09:19:09 »Today I started MC and got the notification to update. I did it via the app dialog. At the moment of restarting the app, I got the following messages: Failed to open or read config file: ...MultiCommander.xml. It might be corrupt, try to replace it with a backup or delete it. Same message for the rest of config files.
I have tried to delete them, uninstall MC completely, reboot, reinstall MC... even with a fresh installation from the downloaded installer I'm getting these messages. Even though I click on Accept, there's a moment where it freezes.
Any help, please?

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on July 13, 2026, 07:58:57 »Ahh You wanted to do Create and EDIT.. okey
Yes Look like that command change to just Create. I will split them into two commands instead, (Create file, Create file and edit) and add a new command that is only Create. and change CreateAndEdit to launch edit if 1 files was created.

« Last post by Jungle on July 13, 2026, 06:51:24 »I've updated MC to v16 on another PC. The same issue.
Before updating I've checked that Shift+F4 works. It worked OK.
Then I've updated, and now it doesn't work. Even in the backed-up versions!

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on July 12, 2026, 23:14:29 »Not yet, Just knowing how to reproduce it is enough for now.. Then I can see if I can reproduce it. I will on Monday if I can reproduce and fix.
