    I cannot run disk imager, nothing happens when clicked.
    The windows event viewer contains

      For me, it was Keybase which creates a virtual drive. Quitting keybase completely and relaunching and diskimager ran fine. Hope this helps! And thanks to the answers below for putting me on the right track!

      Similar for me: I was running pCloud (a DropBox alternative), that also creates a virtual removable drive. Quitting pCloud, and Win32DiskImager.exe works again.
      Conclusion: any tools, that create virtual drives, should be quit before running Win32DiskImager.exe.

    I've seen the same problem. For me it looks as if another program I installed is interfering. Linux File Systems for Windows may be blocking access to Win32DiskImage Viewer. I killed the task and it allowed disk viewer to open finally. Perhaps another program is doing the same for others.

    I had to stop MS OneDrive and Google Drive to get it back up and running. You can stop them from the tray.

    Quitting Google Drive fixed it for me. Thanks to fiksve for the suggestion!

    It seems this bug is related to all virtual drives.
    Ram disk drive is either preventing the program to run.

    Thank you all, saved my day! Needed to close nextcloud VFS + google drive VFS in order to start the app.

    i gigured out why my diskimager suddenly was crashing as like the posters above.

    I did a SUBST X: c:\foo

    SUBST creates a virutal disk that was causing diskimager to crash.

    Confirming - closing Google Drive and OneDrive (in my case) allowed to start Win32DiskImager without problems.

    Had same problem. Cause was locally mounted Veracrypt drives. After unmounting Win32DiskImager can be started.
    Please fix this!

    Confirming that this is still an issue on Windows 11 with Google Drive - the app simply won't launch unless I quit Google Drive first.

    This has been fixed in source, will be releasing a binary soon. The fix is really only temporary, as I try to determine the actual root cause of the issue (why the program is getting the wrong info on drive type from the OS). But if I can't root cuase this, I will at least try to get an update out soon.

    Just to add "Me too" - silently fails, even when launched from the installer.
