my_jesus_saved_me Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I've been working to try and figure out why HX Edit isn't opening for me. I've run task manager while starting the program and I see the Microsoft Antivirus service suddenly get memory and CPU usage, so I went in and disabled it, uninstalled several programs I had installed recently, but the program still won't run. I've tried running it as administrator which does pop up the "do you want to allow this program to run" prompt, but the program never opens. I have no issue using Line 6 Updater, and have been able to update the firmware in my pedal using that without issue. Both programs are installed, but HX Edit won't open. I've disabled the AV, added exceptions for the HX Edit Process and whitelisted the folder within AV too all with the same result. This has happened with two previous version of HX Edit, and I can't see what's causing it to be blocked in loading. Any suggestion?

rd2rk Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Did you update the FW to 3.15? did you update HX Edit to 3.15? Have you considered the possibility that it might be related to your computer hardware and/or operating system, and that providing those details might be helpful?

DunedinDragon Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Probably your best bet is to use the Event Viewer to see what errors or warnings may be getting logged when you try running HX Edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayPRS Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Have you try to uninstall the software and perform a clean install? Maybe a corrupted file is preventing it from opening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, There are stacks of threads on here discussing the reasons why HX Edit fails to open on Window machines Have you fallen foul of the dreaded SD Card in slot issue? That one seems to be the favourite cause of this problem. Here: Or here: Hope this helps/makes sense 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my_jesus_saved_me Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Wow, that is something I never would have thought to check on the SD Card. I ejected the SD Card and instantly it popped up. Thanks everyone for the responses! As always, L6 is the best community of musicians ever! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
