IntelliJ not starting in windows 10

Answered

I have installed Intellij Ultimate 2021.2.4 few days back in my windows 10 PC. It was working fine just after the installation, but now when I am trying to open it from start menu or Desktop shortcut it's not opening. I even tried to start it from cmd using the idea.bat, but it's also not working and there is no error. Below is the cmd logs

 

Any Idea what can be the issue behind this?

Thanks in Advance,
Ayan

Hi Ayan,

Try following the steps from this troubleshooting guide. It will have you delete default IDE directories in order to restore program integrity.

 

Also check the Windows Event Viewer log 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 directories, IDE installation folder and project files are excluded from the scan.

Hi Ayan,

By the looks of it, Nvidia driver is injecting its DLL into the IntelliJ IDEA process.

Possible solutions:

  • Update your video driver, or disable some of its features that are specific to this library
  • Uninstall the "NVIDIA RTX Desktop Manager"

If none of the above helps, please contact Nvidia support for other solutions. You can send them crash dumps for analysis (java_error_in*.log files in your user home directory, or if they are not available, system native dumps that can be found in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\CrashDumps).

After uninstalling “Nvidia RTX desktop manager” , it’s working fine now.

Thanks for your guidance
