Seem like it didn't work. my app is getting a blank screen

[1c7]

to be fair I am upgrading my Electron.js v10 app to v15.3.1 so there are a lot of issue.(I am removing a ton of remote code) blank screen likely come from other issue

I ran into something similar trying to use electron-store with Electron v16.0.0. Try calling initialize() and enable() to your index.js like this:

import { initialize, enable } from "@electron/remote/main";

initialize();
// ...
const win = new BrowserWindow({ ... });
enable(win.webContents);

It happens to me.

"electron": "^20.1.3",

But require @electron/remote/main and call initialize(), enable() do not work for me.

Add below code in main.js

const ElectronStore = require('electron-store');
ElectronStore.initRenderer();

It works for me!

[magnumxpm]

Add below code in main.js

const ElectronStore = require('electron-store');
ElectronStore.initRenderer();

It works for me!

This resolves the issue it seems. I Used it like this:

import Store from "electron-store"
Store.initRenderer()
