<p>Do we know for sure which version is the minimum?</p>

<p>For Geany itself (and Gtk2) it's Windows XP.</p>
<p>It's totally a guess, but I suspect that the latest Geany Windows release used newer version of GLib or other dependency (from updated/upgrade msys2) that has stopped working on XP. One could probably take all the .dlls from the previous Geany release and copy them into the Program Files directory of latest release and it would work again.</p>
