I get the "unspecified error - abort" every time I open an Inkscape file or even start a new Inkscape document. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and I still keep getting the error. I've even reinstalled it with a different path from the original and I still get the error. Please help! Thank you.
Describe your OS (your computer's Operating System: Mac/Windows/Linux/etc. & version).
Describe if Inkscape was newly installed, or upgraded from an earlier version.
Describe the version of Inkscape and the installer you used (the file you downloaded from the web: .msi/.exe/.zip/appimage/other, PPA/Snap/Flatpak, dmg/other ).
Describe any special hardware being used, like tablet/stylus, external drives or multiple monitors.
Describe any helper/assistive programs or keyboard modifiers (macros, languages, etc.).
1. Windows 11 Pro 2. Inkscape has been running for a long time, then it crashed. When I reopened it, it gave me that error. So, I installed the latest version. Inkscape 1.4.exe. It still gives me that error, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it again. Still gave me the error. 3. Inkscape 1.4.exe 4. Just one external drive. No extra monitors. 5. No helper programs. Even if I just start a new document, it gives me the error.

Thanks in advance! Much appreciated.
I would uninstall again and also delete the Inkscape user profile directory (../users/yourusername/AppData/Roaming/inkscape).
Then I would re-install Inkscape using the .msi installer. If you frequently use layers, I'd opt for the 1.3.2 version.
