Settings freezes PyCharm

I'm having the same problem.  It tells me that no python interpreter hasn't been configured.  If I click on Configure Python interpreter, or go to Settings, everything freezes.  I renamed the plugins directory instead of deleting it, and it still freezes.  I have the August 5th version, and it's a paid subscription.

Hi Dave, could you please create a ticket in our bug tracker and attach the whole log folder zipped from Help | Show Log in ...?

Will do - thanks!

I am seeing this too. any fixes or workarounds?

Hi @Pravn The issue was related to the (anaconda) python interpreter. I think the updated IDE may have had a conflict with the version of python.exe that I was using. I updated python and all dependencies and the problem has not returned.

Hi Jm

Can you please record some thread dumps according to https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544899

And get the logs according to https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241085-Locating-IDE-log-files

You can bundle them in a .zip file and upload to https://uploads.services.jetbrains.com/ , then let us know the file name

Check your event notification in startup GUI, if it says java lower version it may cause instability, Your Java would be pointing a lower version, update recent java version, point the newer java version path in settings/environment variables/system variables. this worked for me.
