Start Failed, Internal error: recovering IDE to the working state after the critical startup error

Updated June 19, 2024 19:11

Symptoms

IDE shows the Start Failed dialog with the exception stacktrace and the following text:

Internal error. Please refer to https://jb.gg/ide/critical-startup-errors

Cause

There are multiple possible causes for this issue: broken or incompatible plug-in, corrupted IDE installation files, failed patch update, broken caches or damaged configuration.

It may be hard to guess the root case from the exception stacktrace.

Resolution

Please try the following steps one by one until the issue is resolved:

In case of "java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: ...plugins\github-copilot-intellij\copilot-agent\bin\copilot-agent-win.exe", please see this Copilot discussion and the corresponding issue.
If you get "java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind" exception, please refer to IDEA-238995 for the workaround.
Delete the third-party plug-ins directory (idea.plugins.path in the user's home directory, depends on the OS and IDE version. Please be aware that default locations have changed in 2020.1 release). You can bisect the plug-ins to find the offending one and remove only that plug-in, keeping the working plug-ins.

Note: if the installation is managed by the Toolbox App, plug-ins directory will be located next to the application install location which can be found from the Toolbox properties of the installed app. Look for the directory name starting with the build number and ending with the .plugins, like 192.5728.98.plugins.
Download and install the IDE again, either from the official site or using the Toolbox App. Your settings and projects will be preserved. When installing from .tar.gz on Linux make sure to unpack into the new empty directory, not on the top of the existing installation.
Delete the IDE system (idea.system.path) directory.
In most cases the issue should be already resolved, but if the IDE still doesn't start with the same error dialog, you can also try to backup and delete the configuration directory (idea.config.path).
Contact support with the full exception stacktrace (you can copy/paste it from the error dialog).

Feedback

We'd appreciate if you report all such issues to the support team or directly to the issue tracker. We are trying to eliminate the root cases and make the IDE recovery process more seamless.

@Bartek Try to remove the Kotlin plugin-related files from C:\Users\<your_system_name>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2024.1\plugins to see if it helps.

I had the following system variable set:

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=UTF16

Once removed everything works like a charm.

@Lejia, thanks for support.

I am not able to install my github copilot in android studio

The IDE failed to install or update some plugins.
Please try again, and if the problem persists, please report it
to https://jb.gg/ide/critical-startup-errors

The cause: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\Users\Suraj Kumar Sahoo\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio2024.1\plugins\github-copilot-intellij\copilot-agent\bin\copilot-agent-win.exe

I am trying to update a plugin “Codium” but after the IDE restart, I receive the error below.

Serge Baranov

Ziafat This looks similar to the problem with Copilot described in the first item of the document. Killing an external process started by the plug-in or rebooting (in case you can't find the specific process) should help.

It seems to be that the EAP versions don't try to use the other 50 Ports when the first one (6942) is already in use which results in them crashing at startup.

Serge Baranov

Updated March 18, 2020 17:35

Timothy Lutz

I can't confirm this theory. Starting IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3.3 that binds in port 6942 and then starting IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 EAP works fine and I can see via TcpView that it binds on port 6943.

The autoupdate lead me to this page... Why did it update the software without getting my permission...

Serge Baranov

Updated April 08, 2020 05:20

IntelliJ IDEA doesn't update itself without your confirmation. There is a setting in https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox/app/ to update the tools automatically, but it's disabled by default.

Updated April 08, 2020 07:25

Hi serge,

I reinstall the IntelliJ 2019.3 from the official website, instead of toolbox app. Would you please tell me how can I disable the autoupdate in such case?

Because it turns my scala plugin won't crash in 2019.3. For 2020.1, it always shows `start failed`.

Maybe it is better to stay at 2019.3.

Thanks.

Serge Baranov

Updated April 14, 2020 08:47

Rschlossus Please see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-235754 . Should be fixed in the next update.

At the moment you can either user 2019.3.3 from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/previous.html or install the IDE into a path without non-ASCII characters.

The workaround:

Use clion.bat

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Toolbox\apps\CLion\ch-0\<version number>\bin\clion.bat

and create a Shortcut for it. Works well for me.

To start the clion64.exe again I disabled the Exploit protection in Windows 10 "Force randomisation for images (Mandatory ASLR) not compiled with /DYNAMICBASE" => Use Default (Off)

Not sure, if this is connected though. "Git for Windows" as well and some other cygwin stuff.

Hi,

I'm running clion in a Linux corporate environment and it failed to start. I use a mix of jetbrains IDEs including pycharm, intellij, and clion. I suspect it was the mix causing the issue, since the failure happened immediately after I ran a most-recent intellij. I didn't find an obvious cue after spending some time on Google. I have tried deleting all the plugins and cache but it didn't solve the issue.

Internal error. Please report to http://jb.gg/ide/critical-startup-errors

Hello,

I installed latest build 2020.1 201.7723.91 via Toolbox and I'm having the same issue.

2019.3.5 works fine.

JF Naud most of the crash issues have different stacktrace. Could you please post yours so that we can try to isolate the problem?
