A script editor logger is provided with GENtools which can be enabled to help debugging things such as a crash on startup.
To enable the script editor logger, follow the instructions below.
First, navigate to your Maya scripts directory and open the GENtools folder (you can copy the path below and replace MAYA_VERSION with your version of Maya).
%userprofile%\documents\maya\MAYA_VERSION\scripts\GENtools
Open the GENtools.mel file with notepad or another text editor.
On the first line, change the value false to true like on the image below, and save the file.
Next time you launch Maya, a GENtools_log.txt file will be automatically created in the GENtools root folder which should contain all the logs from your script editor.
When you are done, you can disable the script editor logger by following the steps here.
To disable the script editor logger, follow the instructions below.
On the first line, change the value true to false like on the image below, and save the file.
The script editor logger also enables the Echo All Commands in your Script Editor, so you can disable it back if you wish by unchecking the checkbox.
