SourceTree on my workstation was recently updated - currently version 2.3.1. Although I didn't explicitly update it, I know it was updated because the icon changed on my task bar.
Now, since the last reboot, when I try to start SourceTree, nothing happens.
Looking into sourcetree.log, the following is logged: (As you can see it's getting a NullReferenceException and quitting)
What do I do?
Thanks, in advance, for any help you can lend.

( I've edited this point 3 times now to update things, and now it says SPAM?? Really? It is NOT spam. I need a resolution to this problem. )

Hello! This is a known issue. Please navigate to the config file location (C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree.exe_{RANDOM_GUID}\2.3.1.0\user.config) and find the following line:
<setting name="AutomaticallyCleanUpDictionaryFiles" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>
Make sure that value is set to True

I had the same issue - I couldn't get SourceTree 2.3.1.0 to start even after doing a full clean install.
The "AutomaticallyCleanUpDictionaryFiles" line wasn't in my user.config. I added it and now I can open SourceTree.

Another +1 on this (Windows 10 Pro + ST 2.3.1.0) ... had to add the line and then it worked.

I added this and the application opened again, but when I returned to the user.config file, the lines I added were removed by SourceTree again... am I going to have to keep setting this? Why is it getting cleared?

Thanks! Adding this setting solved for me (Win 10 16299.15, SourceTree 2.3.1.0) 👍

Worked for me. But guys, please fix this problem. I just wasted about 1.5 hours trying to find the solution.

Hi everyone! As an update for this topic, we have just started the progressive rollout of Sourcetree v2.3.5.0 which includes a fix for this issue. You should be prompted to upgrade sometime over the next 14 days or, alternatively, you can download the update directly from https://downloads.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/windows/ga/SourceTreeSetup-2.3.5.0.exe
Cheers :)
