Yes it appear s to be a the bug mentioned below. Ive just installed
kicad-msvc.r21492.b691c18bfc-x86_64.exe from 1 week ago and then
installed kicad-msvc.r21621.b71ab01de4-x86_64-lite.exe over it and
everything starts up OK. I use an uninstaller (Revo Uninstaller veresion
3.20) to uninstall any previous versions. The uninstaller removes left
over directories and registry entries. Maybe I'll skip removing the
leftovers if it's causing a crash. I'm not using the nightlies for any
work yet anyway. Sticking with the stable for now.

If this is the first time you are running KiCad 5.99, or you erased
your settings directory, you may be hitting
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7900
<https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7900> with that version.
If this is the case, try installing an older nightly (like go back a
week or so, just using the lite installer is fine) and try starting it
up. If that works, you should be able to install the latest version
again and have it work.

Please try to see if you can start it directly from the kicad.exe
in the install location insread of the shortcuts.

I'm reporting this here as I am unable to provide any
version information as nothing starts up. This is reported
as an incomplete report by the Kicad bot on Gitlab.

installs but does not start up-Windows reports as already
running when double-clicking on Kicad, eeschema or pcbnew.
None of these applications are listed in task manager. They
have NOT been blocked by Comodo internet security premium on
my PC (any kicad application is normally sandboxed, and I
manually have to add to trusted applications).
Steps to reproduce
1.Install. 2.Double click on EESchema, PCBnew icons
KiCad Version
Can not copy version info as applications will NOT start up.
My Windows version is Windows 10 2004 (OS Build 19041.867)
