Neo4j Desktop DB failed to start with with status 'KILLED'

Question

Running Neo4j Desktop version 1.0.15. Trying to start DB causes the start fail:

Database failed to start: DB [database-f8950fdd-6b5f-4fea-8c9f-e8457ee1d

Answer 1

It might be your neo4j was still running. I solved this problem by shutting down the database and restarting it.

Platform: Windows 10; Neo4j Desktop version: 1.1.13

Open a commend-line window and go to the directory of your neo4j database. run

bin\neo4j status 

to check the status of your database.

If it is running, run

bin\neo4j stop

to shut down your database. Then go back to the Neo4j Desktop, click the start button, and it could be symptom-free.
