How is it possible to have 3 working versions of LyX/MikTex on three different computers (all Windows) and have them all break within a couple of weeks without doing anything (except allowing Windows Updates)?
I have been receiving errors after latest windows updates on 3 different machines all were running successfully LyX and MikTex and stopped working out of the blue with the following type errors: The process latex icon bottom right just spins for minutes then: LyX: Stop command? The command pdflatex "test.txt" has not completed. Do you want to stop it? Stop it Let it run If Let it run: Does not matter which it will still fail either way. LyX: LaTeX failed: The external program pdflatex finished with an error. It is recommended you fix the cause of the external program's error (check the logs) And right about now I certainly wish LyX would make the error text boxes where the text can be copied an pasted into an email.... sigh. I currently upgraded to latest Lyx and MikTex and performed the typical LyX -> Reconfigure and restart Lyx only to still find Unavailable: Article (Standard Class) and still above errors as though LyX cannot find MikTex even though Tools->TeX Information finds .cls files in the MikTex 2.9 directory in Program Files (x86) basic-miktex-2.9.7100-x64.exe LyX Version 2.3.3 (Monday, June 10, 2019) Library directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\Resources\ User directory: ~\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\ Qt Version (run-time): 5.11.3 Qt Version (compile-time): 5.11.3 Anyone else experience this? It is super-awesome!
