How to report a problem when BlueStacks 5 does not start

How will this help?

In case BlueStacks 5 is crashing upon launch or you are unable to start it, you may share log files that record information relevant to the failure, so we may help you with a quick resolution or a workaround for the issue. This article will guide you on how to do that easily in the steps described below.


How can I submit a problem report?

1. Download the BlueStacks 5 Log Collector Tool.

NOTE: The antivirus of your PC might alert you or block BlueStacks Log Collector initially, however, we assure you that it's a completely safe program and we recommend that you run it on your PC to report the problem you're facing.

2. Once the download is complete, run the file by clicking on the file icon which is saved automatically in the Downloads folder of your PC or in the location you have saved it while downloading.
