FlutterFlow Desktop App Instantly Closes After Launch

Platform: Windows 11
Issue Type: Desktop App crash
FlutterFlow Web Version: Works perfectly in Chrome
Desktop App Version: Latest (installed from official docs)
System Info:

processor : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 5205U @ 1.90GHz 1.90 GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB (7.85 GB usable)

Problem:
After installing the FlutterFlow Desktop App, the app instantly closes when I try to launch it. No error is shown — just a quick blink and then nothing. I've tried:

Installing Visual C++ Redistributables (x64 & x86)
Running as administrator
Adding exclusion in Windows Defender
Deleting AppData cache and reinstalling
Disabling antivirus
Using integrated GPU mode

None of the above fixed the issue.

However, the web version works perfectly in Chrome, and I’ve now installed it as a PWA to continue work.

Please advise on how to fix or debug this desktop crash issue

I’ve attempted the following steps to fix the FlutterFlow Desktop App crash issue on Windows:

Installed both Visual C++ Redistributables (x64 and x86)
Restarted the system after installation
Added FlutterFlow installation folder to Windows Security exclusions
Ran the app as Administrator
Forced the app to run using Integrated GPU (via Windows Graphics Settings)
Fully uninstalled FlutterFlow and deleted related folders in:
- %appdata%\FlutterFlow
- C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Programs\FlutterFlow
Reinstalled FlutterFlow from the official installer
Checked for antivirus interference (no blocks found)
Tried launching from both shortcut and .exe directly

Despite all this, the app closes instantly after launch with no error message.
The web version (in Chrome) works flawlessly, and I’ve now set it up as a PWA for continued use — but I’d prefer to use the desktop app if possible.
