I just upgraded to the latest version v1.11.0, and failed to start the Julia.exe. Errors prompt like this:

How can I fix this?

Finally, I figured out the problem after trying for several days. The above errors prompt because I used the portable version of ver1.11.0 in Win11, and meanwhile have the customer DEPOT\_PATH located at “D:\Program Files\Julia\.julia”. By referring to [When setting `JULIA_DEPOT_PATH` to `/path:`, omit the default user depot by maleadt · Pull Request #51448 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/51448), the manner of the new version to expand the environment variable “JULIA\_DEPOT\_PATH”, if not empty, changes with never including “D:\Program Files\Julia\share\julia” anymore. Therefore, I add the default path “D:\Program Files\Julia\share\julia” to JULIA\_DEPOT\_PATH besides “D:\Program Files\Julia.julia”. Note that, JULIA\_DEPOT\_PATH only directed to “D:\Program Files\Julia.julia” will not include the default path “D:\Program Files\Julia\share\julia”, and result in the start errors.
