Why?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. The comment here fixed it for me.

It is disabling the sandbox of JCEF. Just disable JCEF is not a solution, as that what make it impossible to see e.g. a preview of a .md file.

Steps to fix it are:

• Select Find Action from the Help menu (or press CTRL+SHIFT+a)
• Enter Registry and select Registry...
• Find the ide.browser.jcef.sandbox.enable option in the list that appears and disable it
• Restart the IDE

This fix should work for all Jetbrains products.

Answer 2

This happened in my PC for every project, that has a README.md file (generally cloned from GitHub).

I opened some other project, that don't have the README file, and disabled the Markdown plugin from settings > Plugins > installed list of plugins.

After that, if you restart, it won't render the README, but it'll atleast open the project.

Answer 3

Please see the corresponding YouTrack issue for more details.

You can try adding

-Dide.browser.jcef.enabled=false

in the .vmoptions file as a workaround.

The exceptions in the first part of the log are not related to the crash. You need to check the crash log instead (java_error_in_*.log in the user's home directory).
