Some of the apps that came with the iPad open then immediately close. Any ideas?

A forced-restart may help - as this often resolves isolated issues...


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On an iPad with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
