Written by Perplexity Support

If the app will not open or shows a blank window

  • Close and reopen the app.

  • Confirm that the current version is installed.

  • Restart the computer if the app remains unavailable.

If the app becomes slow or uses excessive memory

  • Check whether a long-running task, browser session, or generated preview is still active.

  • Close completed tasks, previews, or browser windows that are no longer needed.

  • Restart the app.

If the problem continues, use the main Perplexity Help Center support flow.
