If you encounter the error message “Failed to create JVM” when starting PyCharm, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

  1. The Java environment is not configured correctly: Make sure you have installed Java correctly and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the path of the Java installation directory. You can also try manually setting the Java path in the configuration file of PyCharm.
  2. Insufficient memory: If there is not enough system memory, it may result in the inability to create a JVM. Try closing other memory-heavy applications or increasing the system memory.
  3. Ensure that the version of PyCharm is compatible with the version of Java installed on your system. You can either upgrade PyCharm or Java, or refer to the official documentation of PyCharm for the latest version that is compatible with your Java version.
  4. Firewall/security software blocking: Certain firewalls or security software may prevent PyCharm from creating the JVM. Try disabling the firewall or security software and restart PyCharm.

If none of the above solutions work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling PyCharm, or contact PyCharm’s technical support team for further assistance.
