OpenVPN Connect not opening

[sonicqix]

This fixed it for me from OVPN support: You might need to clean Temp folder if client doesn't start.
Win+R > %Temp% > Ctrl+A > Shift + Delete > Enter

OMG, this worked. THANKS!

Hi

I had same issue.
Deleting temp didn't work for me.
After I tried to run the OpenVPNConnect.exe from PowerShell I could see the error.

PS C:\Program Files\OpenVPN Connect> OpenVPNConnect
OpenVPNConnect : The term 'OpenVPNConnect' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
At line:1 char:1
+ OpenVPNConnect
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (OpenVPNConnect:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException


Suggestion [3,General]: The command OpenVPNConnect was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\OpenVPNConnect". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.

So I just typed the following command as the PS suggested.

Code: Select all

.\OpenVPNConnect

and finally the program execute properly.
I have run the PowerShell as administrator.

have a nice time.

Ugh, when apps just refuse to open, it's like your digital world is slamming doors in your face! Super annoying. There are a few usual suspects when this happens on Windows 11.
Sometimes, it's just a temporary hiccup. The app might have gotten a little stuck. So, the first thing to try is the good old restart your computer trick. Seriously, it often works wonders for these kinds of random issues.
If a restart doesn't do the magic, the app itself might be a bit wonky. You could try repairing or resetting the app. To do this, go to Settings (Windows key + I), then Apps, then Installed apps. Find the app that's giving you trouble, click the three dots next to it, and see if you have options for "Repair" or "Reset." Repair tries to fix the app without deleting your data, while Reset basically starts it over like it was just installed.
Another thing to consider is if your Windows installation itself is having a moment. Running the System File Checker (SFC) can sometimes find and fix corrupted system files that might be interfering with apps. Just open Command Prompt as an administrator (search for "cmd," right-click, and choose "Run as administrator") and type in sfc /scannow, then hit Enter. Let it do its thing – it might take a little while.
It's also worth checking if your app is up to date. Sometimes, older versions can have bugs. If it's an app from the Microsoft Store, open the Store and check for updates in your Library. For other apps, you might need to check within the app itself or go to the developer's website.
