According to the changelog, Saleae has recently updated the Electron version used for building Logic software. However, per a StackOverflow post – it appears that Electron 23+ has dropped support for older Windows versions, following Google sunsetting support in Chrome/Chromium 110+ for older Windows versions.
Per the Logic changelog, previously noted updates to Electron were:
- Update to Electron 19 (as of Logic 2.4.9)
- Update to a custom Electron build (Logic 2.4.13 for Linux platform only?)
So, you may need to revert back to a previous Logic software version that still supports Windows 8.1, unless Saleae can comment that it is still supported?
Otherwise, if sunsetting pre-Windows 10 is now official, then I’d suggest the download page should be updated – as it still claims Windows 8 support for now:
Likewise, perhaps some additional tweaks to help any obsolete Windows users:
- Latest installer could check Windows version
(warn if OS version is not supported, abort installation) - The auto-updater could freeze / skip new updates for any pre-Windows 10 host
[Edit] for reference, it looks like Logic 2.4.10 uses "Electron/19.1.9" based on searching Logic.exe binary w/ hex editor for the string "Electron/"
