SourceTree Not Working?

Solved: Source tree not starting in windows 10

For me, the fix was to

  1. Navigate to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Atlassian
  2. Under there, you will see SourceTree.exe_Url_RandomGuid
  3. Delete all of those style folders so you are only left with one folder called SourceTree
  4. Start SourceTree, and it will rebuild that settings file.
