I have seen this question asked before, and I have renamed the template file, then changed the ESRI profile file to ESRI_Old, and these measures have not worked.</P><P>ArcCatalog will run correctly.</P> Sat, 07 Oct 2023 16:53:47 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/arcmap-10-8-2-does-not-start-properly/m-p/1336069#M4634 MichaelPorter2 2023-10-07T16:53:47Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/arcmap-10-8-2-does-not-start-properly/m-p/1336228#M4635 <P>Hello&nbsp;<a href="https://community.esri.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/364618">@MichaelPorter2</a>&nbsp;, please can you check that your ArcMAP PC meets all the System Requirements specified here.</P><P><A href="https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/latest/arcgis-desktop-system-requirements.htm" target="_blank">https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/system-requirements/latest/arcgis-desktop-system-requirements.htm</A></P> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 10:23:59 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/arcmap-10-8-2-does-not-start-properly/m-p/1336228#M4635 ChrisUnderwood 2023-10-09T10:23:59Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/arcmap-10-8-2-does-not-start-properly/m-p/1336255#M4636 <P>Thank you, but this PC has been running ArcMap for many years. The problem came with Widows 10. But see my reply above to my post.</P> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 12:50:45 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/arcmap-10-8-2-does-not-start-properly/m-p/1336255#M4636 MichaelPorter2 2023-10-09T12:50:45Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/arcmap-10-8-2-does-not-start-properly/m-p/1336257#M4637 <P>False alarm, I think. The problem turned out to be Windows UAC. The proximate cause is Microsoft's insistence on creating an online account before allowting local accounts. this can create confusion in software that is user-restricted.</P><P>A re-install of ArcMap solved the problem.</P> Mon, 09 Oct 2023 12:53:35 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/arcmap-10-8-2-does-not-start-properly/m-p/1336257#M4637 MichaelPorter2 2023-10-09T12:53:35Z
