IDE hangs on startup

snndbbdf · April 20, 2023, 11:21am

Arduino 2.0 will not start past the loading screen

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

Please do this:
Start Windows "File Explorer".

Open the Arduino IDE installation folder.
(usually C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE or C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Programs\Arduino IDE).

In the folder listing of the Arduino IDE installation folder, hold the Shift key while clicking the right hand button on the mouse.

From the context menu, click "Open PowerShell window here".
PowerShell will now open with the current directory set to the Arduino IDE installation folder.
Type the following command:
& ".\Arduino IDE"
Press the Enter key.
Debug output should now be printed to the PowerShell window as the Arduino IDE starts (or fails to start).

Wait until you are sure the startup of Arduino IDE has hung.

Switch back to the PowerShell window if the Arduino IDE window took the focus.

Right click on the title bar of the PowerShell window.
This will open a context menu.

Select Edit > Select All from the context menu.
This will select all the text in the PowerShell window.

Press Ctrl+C.
This will copy the contents of the PowerShell window to the clipboard.

Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.

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.

Press Ctrl+V.
This will paste the output into the code block.

Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.

Click the Reply button to post the output.

I don't know what caused the failure to start, here is the log file I provided. Other computers of the same model can run normally, and the installation method is the same. Only this one encounters startup problems.

Hi @snndbbdf. Please provide a detailed description of the symptoms of the IDE's failure to start on your system.

Is that the complete log (including the output provided in your subsequent post)? The reason I ask is because I didn't spot any "smoking gun" in the output. Usually we would expect to see an error in the logs related to the failure to start.

"I've looked through the entire startup log file and didn't see any errors, only warnings. I tried reinstalling, but the problem still persists."
