TouchGFX Simulator is not working and it doesn't give any error while creating code or running the simulator. 

I created a new project I didn't even choose a board I tried it with the "Simulator"

I want to try some ui designs in TouchGFX. I created a new project in Simulator type:

I just added a white box:

I tried to search for simulator.exe file in my project directory, but the file is not exist. I'm using 4.24.2 version now. 

Since there is no error. I'm lost on debugging. Thx for help.

I was using it. I think the issue started after I updated the app.

There must be something different on your system.Do you have a virus scanner active? It might block the simulator.
If all else fails you can try installing TouchGFX in a virtual machine as a workaround.

I literally resetted the whole computer just to fix this...

And yes it works now. I do not know why that issue happened but after computer reset and re-installing TouchGFX Designer and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Version from this link : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

it works now. Thanks for helping!
