Windows 8.1 is no longer supported by Microsoft, so Electron (the framework Obsidian is built in) has dropped support for it too.

I recommend you upgrade to a supported version of Windows (or switch to Linux or another OS) — especially if that computer connects to the Internet.

Downloaded another version (1.1.16) from here: Releases · obsidianmd/obsidian-releases · GitHub. The program has started!

Maybe it will help someone too.

Current version: v1.2.7
Installer version: v1.1.16
