Respondus Lockdown Browser – Not Working

Respondus Lockdown Browser Issues

I’m experiencing a problem with the Respondus Lockdown Browser on my desktop. It just won’t work properly.

Here are the two issues I’m encountering:

  1. When I launch the application, a black square box appears and just loads indefinitely.
  2. Alternatively, the application starts up briefly displaying a loading message, but then it disappears and never fully opens.

I’ve tried several troubleshooting methods I’ve found online, but nothing has been successful.

Has anyone else faced this issue? If so, do you have any suggestions or solutions?

  1. It sounds frustrating to deal with issues related to the Respondus Lockdown Browser. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try that might help resolve the problem:

    1. Check System Requirements: Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for the Respondus Lockdown Browser. This information can usually be found on the Respondus website.

    7. Check for Background Applications: Close other applications running in the background that may interfere with the browser, such as screen recording software or other security applications.
