After doing a fresh install of PyCharm 2019.2.5 with Windows 10, I get this message
I tried to install it for a course I am taking but got stuck and it won't open the IDE. Even after uninstalling and removing all traces of the program... and reinstalling, I encountered the same issue
I found this answer which helped, but I wasn't 100% satisfied with it. The issue is specifically with Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)
. If you disable it globally (in windows defender), the IDE will launch and work as intended. But, I want to have it on for increased security.
Firstly, close pycharm and it's windows
Next, Using the Program settings tab:
I can easily make this change and have it only impact PyCharm rather than the whole system.
Click +, I added the path to the executable for the IDE (...\pycharm\bin\pycharm64.exe fill in the start based on where you installed the program)
and lastly:
set the override, you may be prompted for admin credentials (by windows) after setting it -> then click apply!
Now relaunch PyCharm and it should work.
