Please wait for vivaldi to close
-
Yesterday I got an error "please wait for vivaldi to close" while opening Vivaldi on my PC with Windows 11. It's not even opening. Just giving me that error window. I tried to reinstall browser, but it didn't work. What should i do? I didn't update Windows and Vivaldi says it's the newest version of browser i have.

@DeX1d Do you use any security tools? They could be the blockers.
And try a Windows restart, could be that Vivaldi update was blocked. -
@DoctorG I've already restarted Windows. Reinstalled Vivaldi. Tried to install Vivaldi on my Linux machine and it works with all my extensions installed in browser. I didn't change something in windows at all. I used Vivaldi yesterday all day and it just broke at evening in one moment.
May be i can somehow clear all browser data from my PC and reinstall Vivaldi? And after that synchronise all my settings, bookmarks etc.? -
@DeX1d Let us test something.
Start Windows cmd.exe
Type commandstart vivaldi --disable-extensions
Hit Return
Does Vivaldi start?
No?
Type commandstart vivaldi --disable-extensions --disable-gpu
Hit Return
Does Vivaldi start?
No?
Type commandstart vivaldi --user-data-dir="%TEMP%\TESTVIV"
Hit Return
Does Vivaldi start? -
Tried all these steps and nothing happened
All did from directory of Vivaldi
And no processes in Task manager -
Also tried from vivaldi shortcut directory and i have same error window

What means "Nothing happened"?
Sorry i forgot, i think you need to exit Vivaldi between each step. -
@jasonwily12 that folder i need to delete?
-
@DeX1d After exiting Vivaldi, just rename "User Data" to "User Data---" the you do not loose it. Then start Vivaldi.
-
@DoctorG Did that. Same error. After i did that i launched Vivaldi and nothing happened. Watched in task manager and there was no processes from vivaldi. I launched vivaldi again and got that error
-
Maybe there are some special process PIDs that are called not vivaldi? Just to find them. Because i don't see process name "vivaldi.exe"
-
@DeX1d Running Vivaldi has vivaldi.exe as processes.
No others.Try to empty folder
%TEMP%
, perhaps that helps. -
@DoctorG Didn't help. By the way, when i luanched vivaldi after deleting all files from %TEMP% i saw new file created "vivaldi_installer.log" in %TEMP%. I opened that file and it is empty

Had not helped to get Vivaldi started?

@DoctorG Installed Vivaldi in default directory this time. But all worked fine when it was installed in defferent directory. Thanks for you help!
