Stuck on "Starting up..." (Windows)

The issue seems to be a Windows 10 replica of: https://itch.io/t/1389538/stuck-on-starting-up-macos

I performed an install of GMEdit-Windows.zip and later GMEdit-Beta-Windows.zip with the same outcome: the program is stuck in the "stating up..." state. Bringing up the dev console shows no errors.

This machine previously had GMEdit-Beta-Windows (compiled at Dec 19, 2020) installed. That version ran without issue.

Any thoughts on what's going wrong?

You can follow my answer from that topic and let me know what the JS error is

Sorry, I should have been more specific. By "bringing up the dev console" I meant that I followed the instructions in your post from the other topic to pull it up on load. It shows no errors.

I did some debugging. Looks like there are some cases where ui_Theme.add does not always call then(), so nothing else can load. This is caused by a missing theme, which I didn't notice in the past because GMEdit used to gracefully fallback to the default theme in this case.

I know how to fix this now, but may I recommend adding an else { then(); } to line 907 of app-stater.js? That would restore GMEdit's ability to gracefully handle a missing theme.

Added that for the new release - cheers!
