I am trying all of the 3 for the previous releases too.. went back to 4.0.7 now and still cant open it.
i double click. the blue circle spins for some seconds and stops and nothing happens.
Can you try installing this update?

It's for compatibility for the older versions of Windows when running Electrum.

Thank you I will try and see if i have these installed already or not.
I do updates regularly but might be possible these havent been done.

I have donloaded and restored back the 3.3.8 version and it works.

Have missed out on a lot of work already cause of this and going to continue the update process some other time.
