Solved: Re: WebInspect Fails to Start - Micro Focus Community

WebInspect froze up on a user and they killed the process. Since then, when started, the WebInspect splash screen reports 99% loaded but thats as far as it gets. The process monitor shows that it's spawning a new browser session about every 8 seconds, consuming an increasing amount of system resources. How can I get WebInspect "unstuck"?

Just guessing, but I believe you can rename/delete these two folders and then open WebInspect. These should auto-rebuild, so I would tend to Rename them just in case I need to fall back.

C:\Program Files\HP\HP WebInspect\dat\
C:\Program Files\HP\HP WebInspect\browser\

That fixed the problem. Thank you!

Yeah, in the past few releases this DAT folder appeared and sometimes it seems to build up corruption. Erasing it can be a useful first step.
