IntelliJ Complete Uninstall Windows 10
Answered
Hey!
I have some issues reinstalling IntelliJ Ultimate on Windows 10. My IDE crashes when Overriding a Constructor, i tried to reinstall, maybe my installation is corrupt. I have uninstalled the software as described in https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/uninstall.html#standalone .
When opening the IDE after reinstall, it tells my to activate my IDE (as expected).
I was wondering why my JB Account Email is set in the form. Does this mean the Uninstaller did not delete all IntelliJ files?
After signing in, the bug/crash is still there.
How can i delete all IntelliJ files from my Windows Installation to get a fresh installation of IntelliJ?
Installation used: IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2020.2
OS: Windows 10

Please try to do the following steps:
Remove all IDE directories as per https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544519-Directories-used-by-the-IDE-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.
Download the IDE into an empty directory from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/#section=windows.

Are there any java_error_in*.log files in the user home directory? Please attach them along with the logs folder compressed.

Thanks Egor Klepikov,
but this didn't worked out for me. I followed your recommended steps, I additionally installed a previous version of IntelliJ IDEA (2020.1.4),
it still crashes. There are no java_error_in*.log files in the home directory, the IDE log shows no exception thrown.
Probably the IDE process was terminated by another process. Are there any native dumps in C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\CrashDumps directory?
Try to run the IDE with antiviral tools disabled and check "Windows Events Log" for possible reasons.
Unfortunately, there are no dumps in the CrashDumps directory.
I disabled Windows Defender (my only antiviral tool), but it still crashes.
In the Windows Events Log, i get this error for IntelliJ (translated from German):
The program idea64.exe version 2020.1.4.0 has finished the interaction with Windows and has been closed. Check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance Control Panel to search for more information about the problem.
Process ID: 6208

Application path: C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.4\bin\idea64.exe
Full name of the faulty package:
Relative application ID of the faulty package:
Crash type: Top level window is idle
Does it happen only when you override the constructor? May I ask you to share a sample project in which the problem is reproducible or record a short screencast showing the problem?
I'd like to collect more information about your work environment. Please export the Windows Events Logs and attach them along with the IDE logs folder compressed. (Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data)
