IntelliJ stuck on "welcome" screen.
Answered
The program won't go past the loading screen that is visible when starting IntelliJ. Even after trying to reinstall and run as administrator, and deleting all associated files, it won't start. I have other JetBrains products installed, and they work fine.

Hi Dennis,
Try following the steps from this troubleshooting guide. It will have you delete certain IDE-related folders in order to restore program integrity.
If it doesn't help, try to start the IDE from the command line or terminal: navigate to the <IDE installation home>/bin directory, launch the idea.bat (.sh) file, and examine the output for any errors.
Also check the Windows Event Viewer log (OS system log on Linux/macOS) for any errors or warnings around the moment when the problem occurred.
Look for any generated Java crash logs (files with names like java_error_in_idea_< * >.log in your user home directory) and examine them.
If you have antivirus/firewall, make sure that IDE default directories, IDE installation folder and project files are excluded from the scan.
Thanks for the response, it seems a plug-in was causing the issue - "Cursive" and "Clojure-Kit". The problem is now resolved.
