Vivaldi Keeps Crashing
-
Vivaldi crashes no matter what I do. I've tried everything in this article, but nothing helped permanently. Also, none of my crashes show up in the crash log.
Windows 10 x64, Dell laptop

@bethanie What are you doing when it crashes?
Do you have Windows N or Windows KN?
-
I am in the same situation. Vivaldi crashes after opening the two windows with several tabs. Its only works when you delete the sessions in the App Data. But I want to keep what I have visited. It does on two different PCs with the last snapshot.
-
@vandorrr Stop visiting the site(s) that crash the browser, or user a different browser for those sites.
Do you know which sites they are? I never get crashes here. Never. But I don't visit unsafe sites.

Wuss.
I hope some sample sites get posted here, otherwise this thread ofc cannot go anywhere.

So Vivaldi is crashing for you in Guest profile?
Can you give specific examples leading up to these crashes?E.g.
- Open Vivaldi
- Open Guest Profile
- Close non-Guest profile window
- then what causes a crash?
-
Like, I'll be on one tab and go to open another, but it either won't go off the start page, or it shows the picture of a dead bird.
@Ayespy I have Windows N.

Windows N
See https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/media/media-support-for-n-versions-of-windows/
You may need to update media player/feature pack.
-
@ayespy LOL. I am using Vivaldi for work. I have several windows, and so many tabs.
Vivaldi's behaviour has changed after the last update.I could start when I deleted the session from AppData, leaving the tabs.
It opened then I opened the tabs from the Show closed tab function. It has worked.
Today at first start it crashed again. But when I started to click on the grey windows it kept alive.
So I think there is something wrong with the session management.
-
@vandorrr Please define "so many" tabs.
-
@bethanie If you have Windows N you need to install or update the Windows Media Feature Pack.
-
Sorry, I was confused about Windows N and KN, as I had never heard of either before. It turns out I just have regular Windows 10. >-<
-
@bethanie Have you tried a fresh profile?
-
@ayespy Yes, I've tried making a new profile and using the guest profile, but it still crashes.
-
@ayespy Oh i so badly hope that it's

@ayespy 684

@vandorrr That's 'way, 'way too many, and a symptom of inefficient workflow and bad tab and data management. That said, Vivaldi ultimately "should" be able so handle such abuse (we've had misguided users with tabs numbering in the thousands). And THAT said, with so many tabs, the culprit tab in your session is likely to be impossible to locate. I'm afraid I can't offer you a better solution at present than deleting session data to become once more openable.
-
It may be the known issue caused by sync. You can try to disconnect from the internet, then open Vivaldi and switch off sync. Or you can try checking your hard drive as well as updating the drivers.
-
@ayespy Yeah, maybe. But it very strange that it happened after the 2581.4 upgrade only. Not before.
-
@jacobdavis What's the known issue with sync causing crashes with the latest snapshot (2581.4)? I seem to have the same issue with crashing that gets resolved once I log out of sync -- this usually occurs once Vivaldi starts up or my system boots out of hibernation in Windows. Seems like a memory usage thing with Vivaldi, in that it spikes during sync jobs (maybe only during the initial cycle) and once it exceeds a certain threshold it forcibly closes the program. I might be mistaken however...
