Maple 2017 startup gui window “hangs” when I try to open it - maple

Question

I just had maple downloaded and the command prompt and classic worksheet seem to work but when I try to use the desktop app maplew.exe the initial loading image comes up but then nothing happens. I then have to use the task manager to close it. I have tried running as an administrator among other things. I am completely unsure how to fix this. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks

Answer 1

The last part of the anwer above helped me. In the Task Manager i could see jogamp_exeXXX being started. Repeadedly killing it allowed Maple to start.
To clarify the answer above: create a maple.cmd file on your desktop. Then paste this into the file:
start "Maple 2018" "C:\Program Files\Maple 2018\bin.win\maplew.exe"
timeout 5 > NUL
taskkill /F /IM jogamp_exe*
timeout 5 > NUL
taskkill /F /IM jogamp_exe*
timeout 5 > NUL
taskkill /F /IM jogamp_exe*
timeout 5 > NUL
taskkill /F /IM jogamp_exe*
timeout 5 > NUL
taskkill /F /IM jogamp_exe*
timeout 5 > NUL
taskkill /F /IM jogamp_exe*
timeout 5 > NUL
taskkill /F /IM jogamp_exe*
timeout 5 > NUL
taskkill /F /IM jogamp_exe*

Thank you all. I was able to email maple and I got a fast response. Maybe it can help someone in the future...
Your security software might be scanning Maple. If you can’t add Maple
to the list of exceptions, please try temporarily disabling it.
If that doesn’t help, please check the Details tab of your Task
Manager for jogamp-based processes. If terminating them allows Maple
to finish loading, please use the attached launch script; just save it
as a batch file.
If that doesn’t help either, please try enabling the jaccess line in
C:\Program Files\Maple 2017\bin.X86_64_WINDOWS\launch.ini by removing
the # and space in front. If you have issues saving the file, please
move it to the desktop first, make and save the change, then move it
back to the bin folder.
If that doesn’t help either, please enable the maxheap line in the
file above, and increase the value of 700. 2048 is usually a good
value to try, but if your system has more memory, a higher value can
be used.
If that doesn’t help either, please try adding showconsole=true to the
end of the file.
File:
if not "%minimized%"=="" goto :minimized set minimized=true
start /min cmd /C "%~dpnx0" goto :EOF :minimized
start "Maple 2017" "C:\Program Files\Maple
2017\bin.X86_64_WINDOWS\maplew.exe"
