Revit hangs on launch – solution

So you launch Revit and all you see is the splash screen and it never goes beyond that point. Most of the time this has to do with the recent files list, especially if you usually work on networked files.

So the solution is:

1) Find the Revit (either Arch, MEP or Struct) Program Files directory. Go to the "Program" folder.

2) Find the Revit.ini file.

3) Make a backup copy of the Revit.ini file.

4) Now open it up and find the section that starts with [Recent File List].

5) Delete all of the following lines up until the next section (which starts with a title in square brackets like: [Recent Workset List])

6) Save the file and re-launch revit. It should launch fine.
