Some applications have certain requirements on the hardware configuration of the computer, such as memory size, processor speed and so on. If your computer hardware does not meet these minimum requirements, then it may not be able to run the application smoothly. At this point, consider upgrading your hardware (e.g., increasing RAM or replacing it with a more powerful CPU) or finding an alternative application with lower hardware requirements.
Step 4: Reinstallation or Repair Installation
Sometimes, even if the system and hardware meet the requirements, the app may not start properly due to some minor errors during the installation process. In this case, trying to uninstall and then reinstall is a good option. If the application provides the function of repairing the installation, you can also try to use this function to solve the problem.

Antivirus software sometimes misjudges certain software as viruses or malware, thus preventing it from running. You can try to close the antivirus program temporarily and then run the application again. If the software is able to run normally, it means that the antivirus software may have misjudged it. At this point, you can add the software to the trust list of the antivirus program.

Some applications require administrator privileges to run. Right-click on the application icon, select "run as administrator", you can try to solve some of the problems caused by insufficient permissions.
