Instead of trying to open a .stl file I tried to repair a random file in my downloads. That window did open and did allow me to choose a file from my downloads (yesterday's downloads). That file was not corrupt, I just picked one at random. Prusaslicer then repaired that file and worked normally. After that I was able to load a file into prusaslicer. Made no other changes, fixed nothing, and suddenly its working??? WT.......!

Which is all now irrelevant, because I'm switching to......

Hm, have you used a path in the past that is not available anymore? A share or something like this? In this case i would look in the prusaslicer.ini file for entries containing "recent" (e.g. skein_directory in ) and check if they still exist.

can you zip compress the STL and attach a copy of the Zip File, so we can try it?

I can't even click on a file to try and load it. Once I click on the "add" button and it opens the "Choose one or more files (STL/....) Prusa Slicer is non responsice. I can't click on a file, any file, can't close the window, can't do anything except Close PrusalSlicer with the red "X" upper Right. All that time my computer is working just fine, I'm typing this while on the other screen Prusaslicer is locked.

Interestingly, the files its showing are a week or two old. Its my Download Folder. Its not showing the most recent files that I downloaded yesterday or the day before.

The Stl may be corrupt. Do you have another program there can open stl's?

Try loading into the other program

I've used PrusaSlicer for months without a hick-up, and it seems like the last week has just been all troubles.

Today, just today, Prusa Slicer on my Lenovo X230 Win10 machine locks up when I try and upload a .stl file. I click on the "add" button on the Plater screen and the file manager window opens and then I can't do anything, its just stuck. So then I close it and try again, same thing. Tried rebooting the computer. Tried reloading PrusaSlicer. Nothing. 2.5.0 version
If I just open PrusaSlicer it runs fine, I can edit profiles and do other thing, just can't load a .stl....
AGH!!!
