Fresh install of Figma Desktop App not launching

Hey ​@kevin habig, thanks for reaching out!

Thank you for trying to clear cache and reinstalling. Before I point you in the right direction, I want to make sure I understand what you're seeing.

A couple of things that would really help me narrow this down:

• Is this a standard Windows 11 installation, or are you running Figma in a managed/corporate environment, a virtual machine, or through something like FSLogix or a VDI setup?
• What desktop app version was installed? (You can find this in Task Manager under the Figma process details, or it's usually visible in the installer filename.)
• Do you have multiple monitors, and if so, is it possible the Figma window might have opened off-screen?

The "process is running but no window appears" pattern can have a few different root causes, and the fix depends on which one it is. 
 

In the meantime, our Figma Desktop app not working on Windows article and the general troubleshooting checklist are worth a look if you haven't already. If this does not help, I'll get this escalated to our support team directly.

I’ve installed the latest Figma Desktop App but after trying to do an initial launch. I see the process in Task Manager but there is no Figma App to work on.

I’m using Windows 11 and I’ve already done these steps

Clear the Figma Desktop Cache

Corrupted cache files are the most common reason the desktop app fails to open

• On Windows:
  1. Force quit the app
  2. Open the Run dialog by pressing Win + R
  3. Paste %APPDATA%\Figma and press Enter
  4. Delete the Desktop and DesktopProfile folder 

Performed a Clean Reinstallation!
