Pro/Users,
We had some trouble launching Pro/E for one user. Xtop.exe appeared in the task manager for a few seconds (while the splash screen appears) but then died and Pro/E never launches. The odd thing is that it would only occur while the affected user is signed on.....if myself or any another user is logged in, Pro/E launches without issue. Firewall, spybot or Windows Defender must have been preventing xtop.exe from running properly??? User indicated that he might have answered deny or block to a prompt related to XTOP. Could not find any records within Firewall that it was getting blocked though and XTOP WAS already in the exceptions list.
The std.out file had "Exception - code was -1073741819"
Trail file looked like the following:

We upgraded to the latest graphics drivers and this did not help.
The solution that got him up and running again was to DELETE HIS USER PROFILE then let a new user profile get built upon next sign-on. Although less than ideal, it enabled him to get back to work. I'm hoping that someone has a seen this and has a more simple solution. Thanks in advance.
