So it looks like the problem is with the shortcut configuration of
digiKam (I have it pinned to Taskbar). The problem seems to be the
"Start in" parameter, because Windows reports that the path is not
valid. Original it was "C:\Program Files\digiKam\bin\" and this
directory really doesn't exist on my installation. So I went and
change that to "C:\Program Files\digiKam\" and now DK starts even if
I click on the icon in the Taskbar. <br>
I don't know if this is the right way to correct this issue but at
the moment I can use the latest version of DK normally.<br>

If I run it by clicking on the icon (from Start menu, Desktop or
Taskbar) it still does not run - the log is the same as before.
<br>
<br>
But...
<br>
when I tried and run it from the command line in PowerShell - like
PS: & 'C:\Program Files\digiKam\digikam.exe' - to my big
surprise it runs and looks like it's working (I only tested some
basic edits). So the log from this successful operation is
included - if it helps somehow.

I just downloaded the latest build 8.8 for Windows

it just displays the

I tried the debug version as well so I'm including
the log.

P.S. I noticed that this version is much smaller
then it was a couple of

Could it be a problem

with included libraries?

No. It's the huge NVIDIA SDK previously embedded
which is now dropped.

Your problem is relevant to the OpenGL support. Turn
on the software

OpenGL support as explained here :
