Window froze after changing a time block ("repeating daily") in calendar.
-
@ChLi I tested your case 6.0.2979.22 Win 11 22H2 on my local calendar and can not see such freeze.
-
@DoctorG I have a weird UI config, but it always worked until now.
-
@ChLi What happens if you deactivate Settings → Webpages → Use of Hardware Acceleration and restart?
Is that a local calendar or remove (GMail, Caldav, Webcal)? -
@DoctorG I cannot open the specific account that is froze, but I'll try doing it on my second working account.
-
@DoctorG Didn't work, no.
-
@ChLi And without Extensions?
Create a desktop shortcut to the vivaldi.exe, edit property, add to target field the parameter--disable-extensions; (do not forget space before the --) close Vivaldi and start with this shortcut. -
@DoctorG Didn't work.
-
@ChLi MEans Vivaldi started without extensions but froze again in calendar?
-
I should also mention that, this happened once before, but I fixed it after a while by restarting my computer and restarting vivaldi a bunch of times. But now it happened again but restarting did not work still when this happened last night.
-
@ChLi Any external security tools installed?
-
@ChLi does the calendar work in a test profile?
-
-
@ChLi said in Window froze after changing a time block ("repeating daily") in calendar.:
only external security tool that I could think of is McaFee Personal Security
Some security apps are disturbing Vivaldi.
Is saw freezes when my Windows Defender was scanning in background.

@ChLi Then something in your original profile is broken. But i can not help with stroing data at this time.
I can not tell if you lose data.

@DoctorG Thank you. What do I do next?
-
@ChLi Please wait until some person with more knowledge on restore of Mail and Calendar can help.
I do not use Mail and Calendar. I am more familiar with browser-only testing. -
@DoctorG Is there anyway that I could fix this by myself? Because it's kind of urgent and I don't know about the dates without calendar.

@ChLi
Hi, I flagged this thread to get moved to the mail/calendar section, there often mail developers read threads.Cheers, mib

@ChLi
You can try to login to your webmail account and delete the broken calendar entry.

Maybe this remove the start block, this is just guessing but at least you can work in the online calendar until a developer steps by to help.Cheers, mib

LLonM moved this topic from Vivaldi for Windows on -
@ChLi One thing you can try to do to confirm if it is the calendar data that is causing problems is to move the calendar database out of your profile.
- Open your profile folder (If you don't know the path you can find it on vivaldi://about page).
- Shut down Vivaldi.
- Locate the calendar database file. It is called Calendar with no extension.
- Rename or move that file to a safe location.
- Start Vivaldi.
Vivaldi should now start with a completely empty calendar. If it starts up ok then the source of your problems is likely some broken data in the database.
As I understand from previous answers, you are using remote calendar(s) and they work in a new profile. In that case you could do the setup in a new profile, and then copy the calendar database to the original profile. Or alternatively just add the calendars again in the main profile after removing the old database file. If indeed the reason for Vivaldi not starting is broken data in the database then there is a good chance this will solve your problem.
In case you have local calendars then the problem might be trickier.
Hope this will help,
Eggert
