Introduction to PS4 Application Suspending
Every time you try to open a suspended application on your PlayStation 4, you see the following message:
“This application has stopped working. To close the application, press the Options button.”
Don’t worry, though! We’re here to help. In this article, we’ll walk you through step-by-step how to fix your suspended applications so you can start playing again in no time.
Checking Network Issues
First, check to see if there is a network issue. This can be done by going to Settings>Network>Test Internet Connection. If you are getting a message that says you are not connected to the network, try to troubleshoot your home network.
Resetting the Console
It’s possible that the Tech issue is related to the console itself. In this case, you’ll need to reset the console. Here’s how:
1. Power off the PlayStation 4 by holding down the power button on the front of the console for a few seconds.
2. Unplug the console from its power source.
3. Plug the console back in and wait for it to boot up completely.
4. Turn on the PlayStation 4 by pressing the power button on the front of the console.
Making Sure Games Aren’t Corrupted
Now that you’ve restarted your PlayStation and the system is up-to-date, it’s time to check if your games are corrupted.
The first thing you want to do is go to your Library. If you see a game with a blue icon and “corrupted data” next to it, that’s the culprit. To fix it, simply select the game and press X.
Once the game is selected, press the Options button on your controller. From there, select Information and then Verify Integrity of Game Cache. This will scan the game to see if any files are missing or corrupted and will replace them if needed.
Now that you’ve checked for corrupted data, your games should be good to go!
Resetting PlayStation Network Sign-In
If the PlayStation network sign-in process is still failing, you might want to try resetting your network settings. This will clear any saved passwords and having to redo the sign-in process, but it could be worth it if it gets you back up and running.
Here’s how to do it:
– On your PS4 home screen, go to Settings > Network > Reset Internet Connection.
– Once the connection is reset, try signing in again.
If this doesn’t work, you can also try restarting your PS4 in Safe Mode. This will boot up your system with only the bare minimum of features, which could help if there’s a software issue that’s causing the problem.
Conclusion
In short, if you’re experiencing regular application suspending on your PlayStation 4, there are a few simple steps you can take to try and fix the issue.
