Topic: Electrum wont start any ideas? (Read 1199 times)
With an older version of Electrum (1.9.7) present I tried running the standalone executable v2.2 and had the same issue. Then I installed it from the setup executable (in a separate directory, keeping the older version intact) and it still wouldn't start. It turns out that when I renamed the file \Electrum\config (under AppData or wherever it is located, depending on OS) it was able to start normally.
electrum no longer starts when run with/without admin. it doesnt return any errors just wont boot i have a some what large amount of bitcoin stored > 10 btc which i would like to recover if possible
your wallet file is located here:C:\Users\{your PC UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets\default_wallet
you can copy it somewhere safe for backup.
or if you have your wallet seed, you can simply use that for recovering your wallet. i suggest to reinstall electrum, maybe it solves the problem. but before that check your taskmanager to see if electrum is running at all or not or if it returned any error when you opened it

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
1. Which OS are you using? Windows?
2. Is it crashing after opening or Electrum doesn't open at all?
3. Do you have backup of the seed?

may i suggest you to just reinstall it from your seed ? , but before doing that , is your electrum conected to a server? ( green point on the right down corner of your client..)
backup your wallet and reinstall.
Can you describe what exactly happens? Also You might be able to get more help if you move this to the spectrum sub forum.
