SoulseekQT hanging at launch on Windows 7

Soulseek General Discussion

I noticed today when launching Soulseek that it hangs at launch. The icon appears in the taskbar, but I can't transfer focus to the app. Mousing over the icon gives me the build and my username. Waiting ~20 minutes did not resolve the issue.

I upgraded from an earlier version (~2013-05-XX) to 2014-08-31, and this did not fix it. I also tried deleting %APPDATA%/Local/SoulseekQt on a reinstall, but this did not fix it either. Interestingly, even after deleting this directory, my Soulseek username still appears in the taskbar.

Windows 7, x64.

Any ideas?

This issue looks like it's resolved itself.

Here's what I think happened:
Last time I used Soulseek, I had the Soulseek window open on a second monitor. When I tried to reopen Soulseek, I only used my primary monitor and had the issue above. When I launched Soulseek with the second monitor enabled, the window appeared in the second window. I dragged it back to the first and haven't had an issue yet.
