Useful tips for solving application errors

Enterprise employees sometimes encounter errors when using applications they require to carry out their role. Incidents like unexpected behaviour, system crashes, freezes, time-outs and loss of functionality can negatively impact performance and productivity, requiring a rapid resolution.

To address such issues, it is important to identify the cause and then implement a solution that restores the application to normal operations. Here, we look at some quick fixes that can help get apps up and running swiftly.

Restart the app

It might sound simple, but often relaunching an application will resolve temporary memory issues and other glitches.

Update the app

After an app is released, users often report issues and bugs to software companies. Developers then fix problems and include resolutions in updates. As a result, sometimes updating an app to the latest edition available is an effective solution.

Look for conflicting apps

In some cases, when apps run simultaneously they can interfere with how each other function. It’s worth trying to use apps in isolation – and if they operate with error, keep launching additional applications to identify which is causing the conflicts that produce issues.

Assess available storage for apps

If a computer is low on storage, it can cause apps to function incorrectly. Try and free up space by deleting old apps you don’t use anymore and saving older data to cloud storage.
