IDE Crashes during Complie

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

IDE 2.0.1 loaded fine, and I created a small program, but IDE crashes/freezes during compile. The progress bar gets to around 25%, then stops. Have to restart the computer to end the madness. Windows 10 install, working on a project for Arduino Uno (not connected yet).

Hi @mudhenmike

I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

:exclamation: NOTE: These instructions will not solve the problem. They are only intended to gather more information which might provide a clue that eventually leads to a solution.

Please do this:

  1. Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus.
  2. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: ☐ compilation".
  3. Click the OK button.
  4. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.
  5. Wait until you are sure the compilation has hung (as indicated by not seeing any new text printed to the black "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window for some time).
  6. Right click on the black "Output" panel at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
  7. From the context menu, click Copy All.
  8. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  9. Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
    Code block
  10. Press Ctrl+V.
    This will paste the compilation output into the code block.
  11. Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.
  12. Click the Reply button to post the output.

In case the output is longer than the forum software will allow to be added to a post, you can instead save it to a .txt file and then attach that file to a reply here:

  1. Open any text editor program.
  2. Paste the copied output into the text editor.
  3. Save the file in .txt format.
  4. Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
  5. Click the "Upload" icon (image) on the post composer toolbar:
    image
  6. Select the .txt file you saved.
  7. Click the Open button.
  8. Click the Reply button to publish the post.

Alternatively, instead of using the "Upload" icon on the post composer toolbar as described in steps (5) - (7) above, you can simply drag and drop the .txt file onto the post composer field to attach it.

Can't thank you enough for the lightning fast reply. I ended up uninstalling/reinstalling and that did the trick. All is well again.

THANKS!
