Realm Works suddenly won't start

By default the linking should work like this.

[[Page Name]] will create a link that looks like Page Name. I'm guessing though you have duplicate notes with the same name. When that occurs it can't use just the name so it defaults to showing the path to the duplicate note again. Usually this is rare as it's not often people will have 2x notes named the same thing.

As you have discovered you can rename a link with a pipe so [[page name|new name]].

You can also preview a note from within a note by adding an ! mark so ![[page name]].

You can also setup an Alias for a note in the front matter. At the top of your note you can do this.

---
alias: "Second Name"

Ya same here, it is something with the new windows update. Stopped working on my PC then when I did the windows update on my laptop, couldn't get RW to load up there either. I rolled back the update then it worked again but the windows update sits there insisting I restart and update. So I am beginning the process of switching to Obsidian too. I like that no one on the LW team has said anything yet.

Have either of you raised a support ticket?

Maybe because it is a breaking change for which they will issue an update.

(Although it might be that the UI toolkit they're using would also need updating, in which case there's little chance of migrating to a newer version - costs etc.)

I had the same problem and raised a support ticket yesterday (and got help quite quickly). For me it was as simple as Realm works now needs to run as administrator.

Right click on your shortcut - go to compatibility tab, check Run this program as an administrator.

Not sure if that will work for everyone, but it worked on my two computers.
