Solution Found

Hammer launches correctly. If anyone in the future has this problem simply rename your hammer exe to something like "Hammer1"

I'll leave this here to help others thanks for the help.

Well, I've searched through google for a few days now and haven't found a solution to my problem. This is probably my last place to look for a solution so here goes.

About 4 days ago I was editing a map and I closed hammer for about an hour. I went to launch it again and suddenly it wouldn't load. After that, Hammer stopped loading in EVERY game, even the SDK.

I searched and searched about why hammer loads for about 2 seconds showing only a glimpse of the material editor menu then closes itself over and over for every source game but I couldn't find a solution. Any help?

My Specs:
OS: Windows 10 (I've tried running it in compatibility mode as well)
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 970M
Ram: 16gb
Processor: Intel core i7 6th Generation

It sounds like a registry problem. Do you have another device you can check hammer on?

I have another laptop but if it is a registry problem what would I do to fix it?

Remove all mentions of it, make a nice clean start.

By the way, have you tried restarting your PC? It could also be a temporary system variable that's screwing things up. It's not likely though.

Once I get to my computer I'll try removing it from Regedit and yeah I did restart my computer. This has been going on for almost a week now.

Last time all the controls were changed in every Hammers of any source game, cleaning the entries with regedit helped alot. hope this works for you
