Problem:

AutoPIPE locks up after displaying splash screen and never starts, why?

One set of Steps tor repeat

Solution:

Solution #1: CONNECTION Client

For the user with a problem, suggest to try one of the following 2 things to see if this helps starts the program:

1. Disconnect internet and then launch AutoPIPE. If used previously, it should be able to switch to offline mode, prompt the user and continue.

2. Sign-out of CONNECTION Client and then try launching AutoPIPE.

If either of the 2 work – then the issue is either CONNECT Advisor loading content. Licensing check maybe slow or building a cache if it is first time usage.

Solution #2: Profile Preferences

There is a problem with your user profiles preferences, use instructions here to rest to default settings. 

Solution #3: Graphics driver

Update the graphics driver, reboot the computer, and now try to open AutoPIPE.
