I am just now unable to load TeXworks from TeXlive under Windows 10. This is the latest version of TeXworks available through ordinary updating of TeXlive 2021 and it worked a week ago. I tried double-clicking a simple *.tex document that worked last weekend and I also tried starting TeXworks from the MS-Windows start menu. TeXworks opens the *.tex file and then hangs with >30% CPU usage. I had the same trouble with the executable at
C:\texlive\2021\bin\win32\texworks.exe
I downloaded TeXworks 0.6.6 (stable) from github and saved the contents of the zip file to a folder on my desktop. That works fine (from the desktop).

I suspect my issue now is not with TeXworks itself, but rather with the script inside TeXlive that starts up TeXworks. The last time (2020) my issue resolved later when I uninstalled TeXlive 2020 and installed TeXlive 2021.
