"1password quit unexpectedly" at every startup

Hi,

Everytime I switch on my PC an error window is popping up with this message "1password quit unexpectedly".

Everything works fine, and 1password is working as expected. 

How could I get rid of this annoying popup?

My version is 1Password for Windows 8.11.20 (81120039), running on Win11 25H2

Thanks

I had the same “1Password quit unexpectedly” popup right after Windows login/startup. After starting 1Password again, it worked normally.

What fixed it for me was:

  • Open 1Password settings
  • Go to Security
  • Turn off “Unlock with Windows Hello”
  • Restart Windows
  • Turn “Unlock with Windows Hello” back on

After doing that, the crash popup stopped appearing at startup.

Not sure if Windows Hello/TPM was actually the root cause, but it looks like re-enabling Windows Hello may have refreshed whatever local state 1Password uses for Windows Hello unlock. Maybe this helps someone else affected by the same startup crash.

I stopped getting the error after deleting all files from "%LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password\crashes" as requested by support.

Hi @NillDk, I'm glad to hear that you've not run into this error again after clearing the crashes folder. Thanks for taking the time to share what worked for you!
