Body: <p>After moving to a new physical computer I fail to run ADE 2.0.1 (downloaded from <a href="https://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.adobe.com/support/digitaleditions/downloads.html</a> , as always). Despite the previous system with similar stats but noticeably older hardware being able to run it consistently no matter what (it suffered multiple upgrades and even was once replaced from Win10 Home to Win10 Pro), the new one (Home), both out of the box and after upgrading to 1903, just cannot start it; the app tries no more than two seconds and disappears without showing GUI.</p>
  
  <p>The standard solutions, including: change directory of install, use compatibility/run as admin, delete and/or move My Digital Editions folder, came all useless. The only hack solution I was able to concoct was the insanity of installing VirtualBox with an unlicensed Windows 7 inside, where it all runs (this, by the way, proves my hardware runs it in principle). Also, current version 4.5.1 installs and easily runs. But such a roundabout way of behaviour is overly complicated.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have another possible solution, involving rewriting some registry keys, or maybe running ADE in some command-line mode, or any other method to make it start? I am starting to consider dual boot to Ubuntu as accessing it through Wine…</p>
