Can't open Examplify - uninstall and reinstall to fix it
Last Updated 25 days ago
If Examplify won't open at all - it crashes, freezes on the splash screen, or shows an error every time - the fix is usually to uninstall it completely and reinstall a fresh copy. Do this well before exam day, not the morning of your exam.
Step 1 - Uninstall Examplify:
- Click Start and open Settings, then go to Apps (or "Apps and features").
- Find Examplify in the list, click it, and choose Uninstall. Confirm if asked.
- Restart your computer after it's removed.
Step 2 - Reinstall Examplify:
- Download a fresh copy using the Help Desk's steps - see "How do I download and install Examplify on my Windows or Mac laptop?"
- Run the installer and follow the prompts.
- Open Examplify, click "Add New Account," and register again with your Institution ID and login - see "How do I register in Examplify and download my upcoming exam?"
- Re-download your exam.
Tips:
- Always avoid uninstalling between starting an exam and uploading your answer file.
- If Examplify still won't open after a clean reinstall, contact the Help Desk - some leftover files may need to be cleared.
