opening an empty app

hey everyone,


I downloaded an app called "Atom", a text code editor, on my Mac, I uninstalled with "Appcleaner" which delete every folders/packages attached to the app.

When I decided to reinstall "Atom", there is a page to code but without the over features that deliver the app.

I tried to the preference page using : + , Nothing appears

I checked for the updates : Atom > Check for update. didn't work

I've tried to run a simple line but nothing happened, any button to run nor command works


the normal homage of the app:


this is what got as an homepage:


thank you in advance for your help

It's going to the Config page that hasn't been setup yet, do any of the Menu items under Atom work?


Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

thank you for your answer,


so I've first turn on my Mac, normally and open the app, nothing happened: the app is open (there is the point under) but any window appeared.

I've restarted my Mac using safe boot (by holding the shift key until my profil popped up) then I've opened the app and nothing happened again as in normal boot (I've waited 2 mins long).

to see if the operation worked, I've opened the app and the same thing happened.
