Retrobar starts its process, but then it ends itself

Everytime I open RetroBar, I can see the process appear on Task Manager, but then it closes itself after five seconds, It just refuses to start.

I'm using Windows 10, I tried using the installer and portable versions as well...

If you open eventvwr.msc, then browse to Windows Logs > Application, do you see any error reports for RetroBar and/or .NET? If so, could you please paste it in?

Here it is:

Application: RetroBar.exe CoreCLR Version: 6.0.3624.51421 .NET Version: 6.0.36 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Thanks! It looks like it isn't even reaching RetroBar code. Have you tried re-installing .NET 6?
