Error Code memory-management — IntelliJ IDEA

Postup řešení

1. 1 Restart IntelliJ IDEA completely. Close it, open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), find any remaining IntelliJ IDEA processes, right-click → End Task. Background processes from previous sessions are the most common cause of startup crashes.
2. 2 Update IntelliJ IDEA to the latest version. Open the app, go to Help → Check for Updates (or download the latest installer from the official website). Updates fix known bugs and compatibility issues.
3. 3 Reset IntelliJ IDEA settings. Navigate to %APPDATA%\IntelliJIDEA and rename the settings folder to add '.old'. This forces IntelliJ IDEA to create fresh settings — corrupted config files cause crashes.
4. 4 Run IntelliJ IDEA as Administrator. Right-click the shortcut → Properties → Compatibility → check 'Run as Administrator'. Some features of IntelliJ IDEA require elevated permissions.
5. 5 Check if IntelliJ IDEA conflicts with your antivirus. Temporarily disable real-time protection and test. Add IntelliJ IDEA installation folder to antivirus exclusions.
6. 6 Clear IntelliJ IDEA cache. Navigate to %LOCALAPPDATA%\IntelliJIDEA\Cache and delete all files. Corrupted cache data causes rendering and processing errors.
7. 7 Repair IntelliJ IDEA installation. Windows Settings → Apps → IntelliJ IDEA → Modify → Repair. This replaces damaged program files while preserving your data.
8. 8 If IntelliJ IDEA still won't work: uninstall from Settings → Apps, restart, reinstall from official website. A clean install is the nuclear option but fixes almost everything.
