2 years agoHey dyqik, thanks getting back to us. I'm glad to hear things are working with 1Password 7 at the moment.
If you'd like to try disabling hardware acceleration and testing 1Password 8 again, I'll provide some steps to do so that won't require you to launch the app:
Disable hardware acceleration
- Make sure 1Password 8 is completely closed by Right-clicking the icon in your system tray > Quit.
- Type the following into your Windows search bar, and hit Enter:
%localappdata%\1Password\settings
- Open the
settings.json
file in a text editor like Notepad, and look for"app.useHardwareAcceleration": true,
. - If it is present, change it to
"app.useHardwareAcceleration": false,
. If it's not present, add"app.useHardwareAcceleration": false
to the bottom of the settings list, and save the file.
Note: Be sure to also add a comma at the end of the preceding setting, for example:
{
"app.double":false,
"app.useHardwareAcceleration": false
}
If that doesn't help, I'd like to ask you to send us some trace logs.
Sending trace logs
- Make sure 1Password 8 is completely closed by Right-clicking the icon in your system tray > Quit.
- Press the Windows key on your keyboard, type CMD and hit Enter.
- In the Command Prompt window that opens, type or copy the following, and hit Enter:
start 1password --log trace
- 1Password will attempt to launch.
- The command prompt window will have generated some logs. Copy and paste those logs in to Notepad, then save.
You can email these logs to support+windows@1password.com
.
