Ableton not opening

Post by THEWHY » Fri Jun 17, 2022 3:03 pm

I'm using Albeton 11 Intro on Windows 10

For the past week or so, Ableton just wouldn't open unless I directly opened a .als file, when I checked task manager, it stays on 102.1Mb of memory used and 0.5% cpu usage. But just today it won't even open when I run a .alg file, I have already looked it up but couldn't find any solution to this, can anyone help?

It did finally open, but it took like 15 minutes

Try holding Shift when opening it to disable 3rd party plugins and let us know if it helps.

Holding Shift disables the default template.
Holding Alt disables all plugins.

While waiting for a reply from support, you could also try disabling any antivirus and/or and anti-malware apps and/or updating those

One other thought is to make sure that you’re running the executable as an administrator. If you had used ‘compatibility options’ changes to the .exe or set it to run as admin in the past, an update could have overwritten the executable and those tweaks

I don't know what happened, but it opened much faster today. I must have done something but I don't remember what.
