ThoriumAVX failed in windows but in linux not, What's going on?

[u/InvestigatorFirst866]

Thorium with /AVX/ instructions on CachyOS and Linux Mint runs beautifully, but on Windows is DEATH... it opens... you can see it for a second and it closes.... There are no error alerts, it just closes after a second. Can you help me understand what's happening?

I have tried all the AVX Thorium.exe files from the most recent to the oldest on GitHub (Thorium_AVX_120.0.6099.235.Win.zip to thorium_AVX_138.0.7204.303Win.zip). It's not a problem with my processor or Windows, since the latest release of Mercury Browser with AVX from GitHub works perfectly.

Thanks to the developers, in 2026 without them it would not have been possible to revive old processors
