Hi. I installed paraview 5.11 using the msi package in the new windows server 2022 without seeing a warning. When I open the software, the Output Messages window pops up and soon Paraview shuts down automatically before I can read any message. The snapshot is attached. Could you please help resolve this issue? Thanks.

If you open from the console, does anything get shown there?

I dragged paraview.exe to the command line and hit enter. The same issue appears. Nothing shows up in the command line.
