My Arduino IDE randomly decided to start crashing on me upon loading. Whenever I run the IDE it will show in my task bar, but will not show up on my screens. I have tried to delete the .json files with no help. I have tried deleting the Arduino file from my documents with no help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled about 6 times, restarted my laptop, the debugger wont work because the file is cant be found in a directory. I am in desperate need as I have a final project coming up that involves using Arduino. It is discouraging to see this has been happening for years without a fix. Being in the middle of finals and spending multiple hours just to try and get this program to run is more than a waste of time and disappointing. Can anyone please help me fix this issue, I am out of ideas. Thanks.
Hi @ptillisch I am using the most recent version, 2.0.2, I believe. I have gone through every tutorial possible to solve the issue but have came up short on everything. I do use an extra monitor, but it does the same with it present and without, do you have a possible solution.
OK, I think the problem I mentioned before only occurs with Arduino IDE 1.x, so probably something else is going on here.
Which operating system are you using (e.g., "Windows")?
I ask because I would like to request you to provide some additional information and I want to give you the appropriate instructions for your operating system.
No, after we removed the Arduino15 and Arduino folders in Library and Document directories (in a mac system) and I re-install the ide software it starts for few second with a blank windows then stops
I have identified the problem. When I removed the library folder I mistakenly changed the permissions to the folder itself so the installation software couldn't install all the library files. Now it installed correctly and works. Thank you.
