'i can't open IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3.1(FATAL ERROR in native method: processing of -javaagent failed, processJavaStart failed)

I have installed idea, and I cannot open idea by double-clicking the .exe file, so there is no response at all. If I choose to open idea.bat with the command line, such an error will be reported ,

Solution 1:[1]

You have to locate the file idea64.exe.vmoptions

I have mine here

then modify the file and delete the label-javaagent or Related labels

In my case, I knew that Intelli 2021.3.2 should work in my PC as I was able to install it in Windows Sandbox just fine.

So what I did next, knowing that it works on a clean windows system was to go to Run Command and type

%APPDATA%

Once inside the explorer window, delete the Directory JetBrains since this contains the old installation configurations of your old IntelliJ installations and may be causing the issue.

After deleting this, I was finally able to run IntelliJ alright. :)

I have the same trouble. Did you delete just the first line (in my case it is: "-Xms128m") or the whole file?
