TL;DR It broke. It remembers broken settings on reinstall.
Update:
FIXED! (lucky googling)
"Cliff Mellangard 3DEGS" Had the same issue back in 2012:

Quote: "Ok i seam to have found the problem??????
Seams like codeblocks hidden config file gets corrupted sometimes?
First time for me.
But i simply activated show hidden files.
and found the config file here for me.
C:\Users\Samsung\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks
The appdata folder is hidden!
I deleted the config file and agk works again.
Weird?????????"
That did it. The config file generates a fresh copy the next time you launch AGK.
Thanks Cliff!
Add the the solution to the help files?
--------------------------------------------------
AGK no longer works at all. *Attatched picture shows trying to create new file.*
Code can be loaded only from "recent projects", no other way, and it will not compile or run. It did 2 days ago, but not since.
No recent system changes, no downloads, no new programs, no messing with settings. I hadn't even changed the code from the day before (when it all worked as normal), it just stopped working for *any* project I try to run.
**My thoughts on possible solution**
I have uninstalled and downloaded the more recent version and even agkV2 but the problem persists on both. I assume some setting must be getting carried over despite uninstall because it remembers my recently used files.
So is there another program used as the base for agk and the browser windows that might faulty?
It now freezes on close and calls itself "codeblocks.exe".
**More Details**
*Clicking run has no effect. (the button should normally depress, and then windows thinks for a while, then game!)
*Complile still turns the area of code you were working on green but I don't believe it's actually checking the code because it doesn't respond to errors I purposely type.
*"open existing project" does nothing.
"Create new" works as normal
"open recent" works
"open" doesn't.
saving works
Online help doesn't connect to the site.
properties doesnt work
reinstall to other location doesn't fix.
