Alteryx Crashes on startup

josecavalheiro

All of a sudden alteryx started crashing whenever i try to open the AlteryxGui.exe. I deleted Alteryx temp files but it did not seem to fix the issue. In addition, I've noticed that when the AlteryxGui.exe tries to run, it continuously allocates memory until it reaches nearly 1Gb. Then, it just crashes without displaying any error message (I get the same result if i try to run it from the command line -- no error message).

Do you know why this is happening? I'm free to provide any more details if necessary.

The problem had to do with a macro that was referencing other macros, and one of those macros was referencing the first macro. That's why the alteryx designer was allocating memory constinuously and then crashing.

The solution consisted in removing the macro from the folder referenced in user settings/macros tab.
