I'm embarrassed to have to ask, but how does one get debug output
with the Windows version of LyX (2.3 or later)? From a command
window, I've tried both "start LyX2.3 -dbg all" and "cmd /K LyX2.3
-dbg all", and have tried surrounding the executable name and flags
with quotes, and swearing in multiple languages while starting it,
to no avail. LyX starts every time, but I get no output in the
command window.
Try View>Messages Panel. From there you can tell also what debug
messages you want to see.

Thanks, JMarc. The catch is, I'm trying to help someone diagnose why LyX
does not start (or at least does not reach the point of painting the main
window). So I need to get diagnostic messages in the "DOS window" if
possible. He gets no output there when he tries (and fails) to launch LyX.
Please, try launching LyX from a cygwin terminal. For some reason, the
output can be seen in this case, and LyX does not even detach from the
terminal. However, you have to use "-dbg any" rather than "-dbg all".
Thanks Enrico. I should have remembered that it's "any" and not "all"
(although, as it turns out, the Windows binary still does not produce
any output in the command window). I'm trying to help a user having
problems with the "native" Windows version, and I don't think he has
Cygwin installed (nor the Cygwin version of LyX).
