I am trying to start Obsidian but all I get is a white screen.
I tried scowering the forum for information on the topic and I found one but none of the solutions worked for me. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times as well as trying moving and renaming files, none of the options worked.
For starters, what OS?
Did it ever work, or is this the first time you are installing?
Windows 10 pro.
I’ve been using obsidian for a little over a year now. It stopped working this morning.
I tried opening the vault on a different Windows 10 pro laptop. The vault opened fine and had no issues whatsoever.
Follow the instructions here:
I have tried all the above and none of them worked unfortunately.
can you post a screen recording of what is happening?

It won’t allow me to upload the video so here is the zip file
Update.
I have tried running the program on a different user as well as running it as administrator and neither one worked. It yeilded the same result.
you didn’t specify vault location…
if all else fails, try installing with a different install file:
make a copy of .obsidian/community-plugins.json (rename it to community-plugins.json.bak for instance) and delete the original community-plugins.json as well (if you didn’t do a rename), to have a vanilla core vault be loaded
I moved my vault to a different drive to ensure that it doesn’t interfere with the new installations. I’ll try a different install file and see if that works.
Update.
I tried other versions. The problem still persisted.
Renaming files withing the fault has also yielded no result.
this is not closely related to this thread:
how about adding a linux os on a dual boot and installing it there
something is wrong with your windows or your files…
Will a VM work?
Obsidian launches on the VM on Linux. This doesn’t entirely solve the problem but it is a temp solution thank you @Yurcee.
maybe you have gpu driver problem. Try running obsidian with --disable-gpu line argument.
Other than this, I am out of ideas.
This still gave the same result. Thanks for the assistance.
For those wondering here is the result of the command:
