I can't open the projects

Hello, Daniel Caetano. Please archive the full IDE logs directory, share it using the JetBrains Uploads service, and write here the ID you receive - I want to check which corresponding errors are reported in the logs. 

There is no error, learn, I opened the IDE and it stays on this screen, I try to enter the project and it returns.
I could only find a warning in the plugin:

There's also this one from the SDK where I can't select an option:

Daniel Caetano, even if there is no error in the IDE interface, there could be exceptions in the IDE logs. Unfortunately, without the logs I can't determine the reason for the problem you met. 

Where to find these IDE logs, usually when there is an error it appears in the terminal, but this IDE only opens and does not leave this screen, is there at least some explanation on how to get to this screen? Before he would go in and go to the one with the menu.
Or is this screen new to you too?
I had never seen her, she always opened it in the project.

If you talk about how to look at the log, maybe there is a way to solve it, I don't know how to do that.

Daniel Caetano, please read the first message I wrote; it contains the link to the article explaining how to find the IDE logs directory:

The screenshot you shared shows the IDE Welcome screen, which opens every time if the Reopen projects on startup option is not checked in the IDE settings. There is nothing unexpected or suspicious in the window itself. 

I didn't find an option to upload the file here:

But those were the last:

Daniel Caetano, could you please read my message once again? I also mentioned how to share the IDE logs there.

Thank you for sharing the logs. 
In there, I see VFS-related errors; removing caches and indexes should help in this case.

Please perform the following steps:

• close the IDE;
• delete the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2023.3 folder (please note that the Local History and unsaved changes will be lost);
• try to open the IDE again.

Thanks for your attention, it worked. Unfortunately, I wasn't used to linking, it could have been resolved much quicker.
Thank you and sorry for the delay in understanding.

Thank you for the update; I'm glad the problem is solved now! 

Please let me know in case of any questions or requests.

I'm having the same problem. I can no longer open my project, stuck on the same screen. How to fix? Mac os.

Thanks! Issue is under investigation: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-2164

Do you face it with every project? Have you tried to remove folder mentioned above?

That URL gives me a 404.

I only have 1 project. I'm using a mac, not windows. That folder location is not applicable for me. 

I can't do any work until this issue is resolved.

I corrected the link.

Здравствуйте, у меня та же проблема, пытаюсь открыть проект и после клика меня просто возвращает обратно в меню выбора.  Windows 11

Toc Dante Toc Please see IJPL-1060. Delete the invalid .m2\settings.xml file from the user's home directory.

These steps worked for me, from Olga earlier in this thread.

Please perform the following steps:

• close the IDE;
• delete the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2023.3 folder (please note that the Local History and unsaved changes will be lost);
• try to open the IDE again.

I have no idea why the problem occured, but whatever.

 I use Mac and the steps from Olga worked for me also. But keep in mind that the path in Mac is “/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2024.2”

• close the IDE;
• delete the /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2024.2 folder (please note that the Local History and unsaved changes will be lost);
• try to open the IDE again.

Same issue here. Deleting the proposed folders did not help. Turning off plugins did the trick for me. In my case the docker plugin caused the issue. An update was available and since updating the plugin all is fine.
