Installation

What should I do if GeoGebra Classic 5 or 6 won't start or opens off-screen?

Windows

First find your GeoGebra folder, which should be here:

• Classic 5: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GeoGebra 5.0
• Classic 6: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GeoGebra

Replace <username> with your Windows username. Delete the GeoGebra folder.

Note: The GeoGebra folder can be a hidden folder, so it can be hard to find. One way is to press <Windows> R and then copy and paste this:

• Classic 5: explorer /n, /e /select, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GeoGebra 5.0
• Classic 6: explorer /n, /e /select, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\GeoGebra then right-click -> Delete

MacOS

Delete ~/Library/Containers/org.geogebra5.mac/Data/.GeoGebra5.0/prefs/ where ~ stands for your home folder.
