Tried running winbox from a new windows 8 install and nothing. Anyone run into this yet?
Really sux cause I manage a butt load of MT’s for my clients.
Thx
Nope. Everything works as expected since RP. Tried on RP x64 Pro and have it working on latest RTM x64 Pro. All versions are genuine.

Genuine install straight from MS. 32bit version though. Don’t know if that will make a difference.
try to run it as administrator maybe?
The normal uac firewall exception didn’t seem to hold for my windows 8. After manually adding the application in on my firewall profiles it work.
Disable the firewall and l check winbox again to see if that’s affecting you
Everything works like a charm on Windows 8 RTM (x64).
Windows 8 x64 RTM - works out of the box. WinBox is not dependant on endless numbers of frameworks and it should run on any Windows box or a Linux/Mac box with Windows app emulation such as wine. Make sure you scan your winbox.exe with Windows Defender or any other antivirus, as it may be infected by something else.
Here is what is shows
winbox 2.2.18 not working under Windows 8 (x64). Mikrotik Winbox Loader starts but when I try to connect to router nothing happends. Loader window dissapears and next but router configuration window do not appear 
Runs on my win 8 Toshiba laptop, 64 bit i3-3110M processor
Hp dm1 with windows 8 (x64) not working. Tryed all possible modes of starting winbox but every time the same, program starts but when trying to connect to router winbox shuts down
We have it running on all kinds of Windows 8 computers. It could be some program in your PC that causes this, or a problem with windows
Just posted here http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/winbox-3-beta/79126/157
but yeah i’m having similar issues. There must be something odd specifically with beta3 as beta2 works.
WB2 worked okay from xp to w8.1up and w9beta for me.
its not winbox issue, but your computer/os invironment.
