Lösung:

Die settings.JSON löschen, welche unter

zu finden ist…..

Ausblick/Ursache:

Die settings.JSON war leer….

Lösungsansätze DeepSeek-KI:

It looks like Ferdium is failing to start because the settings.json file in your %APPDATA%\Ferdium\config directory is corrupted (it has an unexpected end of JSON input). This typically happens when the file is incomplete or malformed.

Here’s how to fix this issue:

Method 1: Delete the corrupted settings file

1. Close Ferdium completely (check Task Manager to ensure no Ferdium processes are running)
2. Navigate to C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Ferdium\config
3. Rename or delete the settings.json file
4. Restart Ferdium – it will create a new default settings file

Method 2: Edit the file manually (if you want to preserve settings)

1. Open C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Roaming\Ferdium\config\settings.json in a text editor
2. Check if the file is incomplete – it should be valid JSON with proper opening and closing braces {}
3. If it’s empty or partial, you can paste this basic structure:

json

Copy

{
  "theme": "system",
  "darkReader": false,
  "server": "https://api.ferdium.org",
  "autoLaunchInBackground": false
}

4. Save the file and restart Ferdium

Method 3: Complete reset (if problems persist)

1. Close Ferdium
2. Rename or delete the entire %APPDATA%\Ferdium folder
3. Restart Ferdium – it will create fresh configuration files

After trying any of these methods, Ferdium should start normally. If you had custom settings, you’ll need to reconfigure them, but at least the app should launch.
