2019 won't start

I've been using 2019 ProSeries Professional all year, and suddenly, this afternoon, it won't start.  When I click on the icon or the .exe file, it commences start-up, but then freezes.

Well that sucks, sorry.

@AshleyatIntuit  do you recognize this message about Access Rights missing a file?


Okay, I spoke to tech support this AM.  The corruption was in the AppData directory.  So they took me to:

C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Intuit\Common\Authorization\v3\CefSharpBrowserCaches\protax19

where I had to delete everything.  Then I restarted ProSeries, and it allowed me to login, etc. 

One further thing -- because I had uninstalled and reinstalled first, my Home Base no longer showed all of my files, so I had to use Options to redesignate my chosen data directory, and then run Database Maintenance to repopulte my Home Base.  It was time consuming, but got the job done.

Thanks again, Lisa, for your help last night.  Even though your suggestions didn't resolve it, I sure appreciated your working with me on your own time.

You've restarted the computer since it began doing this?

Sometimes an incomplete Windows update can cause issues like this, a restart would let Windows finish the installation.

If you've already done this, Id suggest an uninstall/rename/reinstall.  You wont lose any client data files.

I've done everything except the uninstall and reinstall.  Guess that's next to try.

I had it happen to me a couple years ago, all my years went kaput...but I was in need of a computer upgrade and took that as a sign to just do it! LOL

Later I did have an computer guy come look at the old system, it was a corrupt Windows update that had hosed everything, he was able to get it all back up and working, but I already had the new system up and running.
