There seem to be two major reasons why on some Windows machines JKZ won't start. This is after getting around the usual firewall and anti virus software issues.
- The Windows popup asking the user to allow for the installer/launcher to make changes to the system is 'overlooked'. E.g. somewhere in the background or in the taskbar. Without confirmation the install/startup will not continue.
- Also there seem to be issues with audio drivers, be it ASIO or other, that do not belong to the soundcard/audio interface being used at the time.
When starting JKZ it tries to invoke the audio hardware via drivers available on the system. If these drivers and hardware do not match the launch stalls (apparently?!)
This has been remedied by removing all audio drivers present (ASIO & others) and freshly installing - only - the appropriate drivers to your hardware. That is, the soundcard/audio interface you are looking to use in JamKazam.
I personally would not do drastic things like reinstalling Windows to try to get JKZ to operate properly. The program/app installs and works well for a lot of people without having the above issues. So 'Windows & JamKazam' can and will work together. It seems that 'debris' and remains from other installations, be it hardware or software, are the culprit in many occasions.
