If yourCitrix Workspaceis not launching, it might be due to outdated software or, in some cases, permissions issues that require administrator access.
Network connectivity problems,corrupted user profiles, or evencorrupted filesfrom a previous installation could be the cause.
Let’s see how you can force-launch Citrix when it doesn’t work:
What can I do if the Citrix workspace is not launching?
1. Refresh applications
