Fix BlueStacks error on Windows 10

BlueStacks error does not work on the computer, there are many causes, but the fix can be raised a few ways as follows:

1. Ensure correct system requirements

Before embarking on finding and fixing errors, make sure that your computer has met the configuration requirements of a computer that can install and run BlueStacks well, such as:

• Minimum RAM of 2 GB.
• Partition the hard drive at least from 4 Giga bytes.
• The graphics card has been updated to the latest version.
• BlueStacks is run under Admin.

2. Regularly update the screen driver

The graphics card is one of the main causes of most errors when running Android emulation software on the computer ( Droid4X , Windroy , Nox App Player ...). That's why when installing these emulators, the requirements are relevant and the video card must be updated.

For computers using NVIDIA, just right-click on the NVIDIA icon located in the system tray, then select the Check for updates item on the Menu so that it runs automatically.

If you are not using NVIDIA, you can update yourself through the built-in Windows feature. But best, if you have no experience, use third-party software such as DriverEasy , Easy Driver Pro , Driver Detective or IObit Driver Booster ... to find and download the missing driver for your computer.

3. Run BlueStacks in Compatibility mode

If the above two methods do not work, you can try the third method below, which is to try to launch the software on Windows 10 in Compatibility mode.

Step 1: From the main interface of the screen, right-click on the icon of BlueStacks and select Properties .

Step 2: A new window appears, left-click and select the Compatibility tab , then click on Run compatibility troubleshooter .

Step 3: The Program Compatibility Troubleshooter interface appears, select Try recommended settings .

Step 4: Left click on the Test the program ... section and restart BlueStacks to see if it works again?

4. Set permissions to run BlueStacks on the computer

Although this is a rare occurrence, without this permission, some security settings will prevent BlueStacks from working on the computer. The test is very simple as follows:

Step 1: Right-click on the icon of the BlueStacks emulation software, select Properties as above.

Step 2: The BlueStacks Properties window appears, left-click on the Security / Edit tab ...

Step 3: In the Group or user names box , select your username, then tick Full control in the Allow column (picture below). Finally, click Apply and then OK .

5. Uninstall and reinstall BlueStacks

If all else fails, the last way for you is to remove this software on your computer and install it again.

Step 1: From the desktop, press Widows + X to open the Power User Menu and then click on Programs and Features.

Step 2: An interface as below appears, right-click on BlueStacks App Player and Uninstall it.

A small message appears asking you:

• " Are you sure you want to uninstall BlueStacks App Player? - Are you sure you want to delete BlueStacks or not?", Select Yes to agree.
• " Do you want to keep all the apps and data của? - Yes retain all data are on the current account BlueStacks not" select No .

However, unlike the previous operating systems, to be able to wipe this software on your computer, we need to do the following additional tasks:

• Go to C: \ Program Program Data and delete BlueStack Setup .
• Next, follow the path C: \ \ Program Files (x86) \ BlueStacks , C: \ \ Program Files \ BlueStacks , C: \ \ ProgramData \ BlueStacks and delete BlueStacks Setup items (if any).
• Type the "BST" keyword into the Search box in File Explorer and press Enter.

In addition, you can use some computer cleaning software like CCleaner or professional computer software removal tools like Revo Uninstall , Your Uninstaller , or Advanced Uninstaller Pro , IObit Uninstaller ... to perform.

NOTICE :

For each of the above methods, after doing this, you need to restart your computer before checking the results.
