I have Screentogif 3.26 installed on Surface pro x (with .net 6.0.201 installed). When I try to start it, nothing happens (screentogif process showed up in task manger). In log folder I found following log:

There's one library that has a non arm64 architecture which is triggering this error.
Unfortunately, the error message doesn't say which one. It appears to be framework related, but it could be one from the app itself.

Can you try checking if any error message pops up in the event viewer?
Win + X > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Applications.

Any .NET related errors. Thank you.

I tried your way, but neither of dotnet events were found in Win + X > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Applications. A Security-SPP event was logged when starting SreenToGif.

With .NET 7, the app loads normally.
I'm going to publish the arm64 variant using NET7 Preview 3 for now.
