I've been using RD Tabs on Windows 10 x64 Enterprise tech preview for a while now. Today, it didn't start the first time I tried to open it, giing the error messages below. It asked me to forward these to the forum, so here is the data (although it would have been really nice if I could have copied and pasted the information, instead of having to take a screenshot and trying four online OCR sites before I found one that worked ):

0 RD Tabs encountered an unexpected error while attempting to generate or send an error reportlf you could report this occurance (and the below exception) to the author through
the Avian Waves forums, that would help tremendously! I apologize for this problem. Thank you.

It looks like the user.config file is corrupted based on...

Configuration system failed to initialize ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: '.', hexadecimal value
Ox00, is an invalid character. Line 16, position 1. (C:\ Users \jack.turner\AppData \ Local \AvianWaves\ RDTabs.eceUrlmclvpzvfnlz5wuk2cjrmciedokdxu3eu \ 2.1.25.0\ user.config line

You can try hand editing the user.config or just delete it and it will recreate, but you will lose your settings.
