My laptop (Windows 11) seems like it cannot run the program. I start the program, transparent window appears, it stays for few seconds and obsidian stops running. I’m dealing with this problem for 3 days including today.
Things I have tried
Uninstall and re-download
Do 1 and restart the device
just restart the device
Change windows defender options (add obsidian into allowed-apps list and permitted something in both private / public network)
My obsidian vault is located at MS onedrive, I’m not using any sync, and I tried clearing out your solution, deleted obsidian, and reinstalled it but same problem is being repeated.
Maybe you’ve done this already, but if you are storing your vault(s) in OneDrive, you need to choose the Make available offline option for OneDrive. Obsidian needs all files and folders to be local, all the time, to work properly.
I chose the option, but I have a question, if I move .obsidian folder out of my vault, does obsidian still recongnize my folder as a vault? I mean - My obsidian shut down before I choose vault folder or smth… So I’m not sure if this is a problem caused by the vault selection.
Yes. You can move or rename the .obsidian folder and the vault will still be in the Obsidian vault switcher (unless you’ve changed or removed %appdata% settings). When you open the vault again, your settings/plugins/themes/etc., will be reset, but your notes will be the same. This moving or renaming .obsidian is often used for troubleshooting vault issues.
