Hi Marvin, Which version of windows is this? We have not experienced this so far. Just checked on my test vm to see if there is a regression, but it started 10 out of 10 ok. Try removing all modules and routes and test with an empty config. You may want to set "LogLevel Debug" and see if that gives some clue. Unfortunately the log file location and the loglevel takes effect only after the config file is parsed successfully. If something bad happens before that logs will be written to the file [INSTALLDIR]\data\nxlog.log
