The problem of Uplay, not starting occurs with every Windows update and persists till the comрany releaѕes a new update.

How to Fix Uplay Fails to Launch
Why Uplay Launcher Is Not Working?
The most common reasons that Uplay fails to launch on Windows include:
- Third-party services conflict
- Missing .DLL files
- Conflict with Antivirus software
- Corrupt cache
- Incorrect Compatibility settings
- Outdated Graphics drivers
- Corrupted Uplay installation files
Method 1: Run Universal C Runtime
When you install Uplay, it automatically installs all of the prerequisites on your computer. However, there are times when some of these are overlooked because either they already exist on your device or a failure occurs during installation. Universal C Runtime is one of the most important external files for Uplay. You can install it as described below:
1. Download the Universal C Runtime for the Windows OS version on your computer from the official website of Microsoft.
2. Run the Universal C Runtime installer with administrator privileges. Right-click on the .exe file and select Run as administrator.
3. Finally, restart your PC to save changes and launch Uplay.
Method 2: Clear Uplay Local Cache
As previously stated, Uplay stores all temporary configurations in a local cache on your machine. These configurations are retrieved from there and loaded into the app whenever Uplay is launched. However, on countless occasions, the cache gets corrupted, and Uplay fails to launch. In this method, you will learn to clear the Uplay cache:
1. To open the File Explorer, press Windows key + E.
2. Go to the following address: C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\cache
3. Delete the cache folder’s entire contents.
Restart the computer again and run Uplay.

Note: If a dependency was not installed, you’d be notified, and the download process will start.

Many users reported that starting Uplay in compatibility mode worked wonderfully, and launcher issues were solved. This led us to conclude that Uplay fails to launch on Windows due to some faulty Windows OS upgrades. Follow these steps to run it in compatibility mode:

If the graphics drivers on your PC are not up to date or have gotten corrupted, this could be one of the most obvious reasons why Uplay fails to launch.

If none of the previous techniques work and you still can’t get Uplay to launch, you can try reinstalling the complete game engine from the ground up. If any installation files were corrupted or went missing the first time, they would now be replaced.
Note: This method will also erase all of your game installation files. It is advised to create a backup for these before implementing this method.
1. Open the Run box by pressing Windows + R keys together.
2. Type appwiz.cpl in the box and hit Enter. The Application Manager window will open now.
