Running TB 102.4.0 on Windows 10 off a SSD drive. System was running fine this morning but when I started TB in the afternoon I have a blank screen as attached. Top menu items are displayed but cannot access Tools > Account Settings or Settings. Tried restarting in Safe Mode but no change. Deactivated Anstivirus (Kaspersky) but no change either. Looked and saw this has happened to other people but cannot replicate any of the solutions. Error console message attached. Cannot access More Troubleshooting Mode. Messages are downloading but I cannot see them - but they are no longer on the server. Only File Menu item that works is Write Message.

Appreciate any feedback.

Somehow solved the issue - by fluke Deleted the file global-message-db.sqlite and that sorted the issue out.
