Pycharm freezes upon opening. How do I open pycharm without opening any projects?
已完成
When I open pycharm it tries to open previous projects I was working on. It starts to index these projects and opens the tip of the day. It then freezes - I can't close any windows or do anything within pycharm.
How do I open pycharm and not open these projects.
(running on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 and Pycharm 2017.2.2)

Recent projects information is stored in ~/Library/Preferences/Pycharm2017.2/
options/recentProjectsDirectories.xmlfile. You can close IDE, remove this file and start Pycharm again.> It then freezes
If the performance problem occurs again, please submit a bug report about it to PyCharm issue tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/PY, thank you.
Hi, I know this case is already quite old, but I´ve the same issue right now.
Therefore I wanted to ask, If there is another solution than re-install the entire program?
I also tried to search for the recentProjectsDirectories.xml, but couldn´t find it on my windows machine.I´m running pycharm 2018.2.2 on Win10 64bit
thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi mallok, it depends on the problem cause. I think it's better to remote recentProjectsDirectories.xml first (on Windows it's under C:\Users\<USER>\.PyCharm2018.2\config\options), another option is to rename/remove the entire settings catalog (C:\Users\<USER>\.PyCharm2018.2). And as a last resort - reinstall IDE.
On Ubuntu, delete
~/.config/JetBrains/PyCharm<version>/options/recentProjects.xml
