    Bluestacks is an Android emulator and has been popular among the users who wants to run Android apps on Windows PC or Mac. It allows you to run the favorite Android apps on Windows PC. Bluestacks error, on the other hand, has been as common as the emulator itself. The Bluestacks may not be able to get rid of these Bluestacks errors as they don’t occur on every computer but depends on PC to PC.

    There is no single Bluestacks error; hence, it cannot be resolved with a software update. Different users face different Bluestacks error. Some of the common Bluestacks errors have been Blustacks 25000, Bluestacks stuck on loading screen, stuck on downloading screen at 100%, Bluestacks graphic card error and Bluestacks 2GB memory error, download runtime data error, etc.

    Bluestacks is a heavy application and requires you to have a computer with a decent configuration according to today’s standard. A recommended configuration to run the Bluestacks is 3-4GB of RAM, a dedicated graphic card or Intel integrated graphics and a powerful enough Intel or AMD processor.

    If you are running Bluestacks on an old computer, then don’t run other applications alongside Bluestacks as it can slow down your computer.

    Here I have listed common Bluestacks errors and fixes. These fixes have been taken from the Internet according to the user feedback. Though most of these fixes should fix common Bluestacks errors, the possibility is that it may not work for you. Nevertheless, give these fixes a try and hopefully you should be able to fix common Bluestacks errors.

    Common Bluestacks Errors and Fixes

    f you still face any Bluestacks error then go through the fixes for common Bluestacks error below. Click on your error link below, and it will take you to the recommended fixes.

    Note: Before you try any of the fixes given below, try to disable your antivirus program and also disable your Antivirus Firewall temporarily. This may also cause Bluestacks error on the computer. If disabling the Antivirus and Firewall fixes the Bluestacks error, you may don’t need to follow these fixes anymore.

    Fix Bluestacks Graphics Card Error

    The graphic card error in Bluestacks is the most common error faced by the user. When you try to install Bluestacks on your computer, you will get an error message “Bluestacks currently doesn’t recognize your graphic card. It is possible your graphic drivers may need to be updated, please update them and try installing again”. You would also see an error code 25000 when the graphic card error pops up.

    There are two methods to fix the graphics card error in Bluestacks. The first method is downloading an older version of the Bluestacks which does not require the graphic card to install and the second method is updating your graphic card drivers.

    1. Fix Bluestacks Graphics Card Error by Updating your Driver: If you have Intel’s integrated graphic processor or a dedicated graphic card, then you may need to update your graphic card driver to resolve this error in Bluestacks.

    To update your graphic card driver go to My Computer > Hardware and Sound > Device Manager > expand Display Adapters > right-click on your graphic card driver and select Update drivers.

    You can also get the latest version of graphic card driver for your graphics processor from the links given below.

    Update graphic card driver for Intel Chipset, AMD and nVIDIA. After updating your graphics card driver, reinstall Bluestacks again.

    2. Install Older Version of Bluestacks – If you don’t have a dedicated graphic processor or integrated Intel graphics chip.

    However, do note that if you install the older version of the Bluestacks, you won’t be able to run graphic intensive Android games on Bluestacks. But, you can run Apps like Whatsapp on PC.

    Fix Downloading Runtime Data Error

    If you are using the online Bluestacks installer to install the Bluestacks, then you may face “Downloading runtime data error” while downloading the data. It is a common error and may occur to anyone. This error occurs due to the problem in Bluestacks server.

    To fix this error you have to uninstall the partially installed Bluestacks completely and then reinstall Bluestacks. Use any third-party uninstaller such as Revo uninstaller to uninstall Bluestacks. This would make sure that all the files from your directories are removed.

    Alternatively, you can also download the Bluestacks offline installer and resolve downloading runtime data error.

    Fix Bluestacks App Player Couldn’t be Installed Error

    While trying to install the Bluestacks on your computer, you may face an error message “hmmm…. It seems BlueStacks App Player couldn’t be installed on this computer.

    We’d love to fix the problem – can you help us? Search for the file:

    C:/User/window.AppData/Local/Temp/MSIA0907.LOG and email it to us at Support Thanks!”.
    There are two reasons for this error. The Bluestacks app player couldn’t be installed error can occur if you have old Bluestacks installation files in your directory or if you haven’t installed the .net Frameworks on your PC.

    1. Remove Bluestacks Files using Registry Editor – At times, while uninstalling a program, backup files will remain in your registry. This can cause Bluestacks app player couldn’t be installed error in your PC.

    To fix this press “Windows key R”. Enter “Regedit” and hit enter. From the left corner pane click on “HKeyLocalMachine”. Open it and look for “Software folder”. Under “Software” folder, delete Bluestacks folder if you find it. Once done, download and install Bluestacks again.

    2. Install .Net Frameworks – If you don’t have.Net Frameworks installed, then you may face the “Bluestacks app player couldn’t be installed error” on your PC. To resolve this error, install .Net frameworks from the official Microsoft website. This is only required if you are installing an older version of the Bluestacks.

    Fix Failed to Install BlueStacks Error

    Another common problem in BlueStacks is “Failed to install BlueStacks” error. This error has no error code hence it is difficult to find the culprit of this error. However, what you can do here is look for the old Bluestacks files in your registry. At times, when you uninstall programs, Windows does not clean the files completely, and some files will remain in your registry. You can delete these files using the Registry Editor.

    To do this, press “Windows key R”. Enter “Regedit” and hit enter. From the left corner pane click on “HKeyLocalMachine”. Open it and look for “Software folder”. Under “Software” folder, delete Bluestacks folder if you find it.

    Now download and try to install the Bluestacks from scratch. This should fix the “Failed to install Bluestacks” error on your PC.

    Fix Failed to Connect to the Server

    If you try to search for any app using the Bluestacks search bar, you may come across this “No app found please check your internet connection and try again” error. This is a common error and should not be a big problem. This is a common error and also a temporary error.

    If you come across this error, try to disconnect your internet connection. Close Bluestacks completely. Open Task manager, in the process tab, look for Bluestacks process. If not look for the Bluestacks process in the Service tab in Task Manager. If you find any Bluestacks service running, click on it and then click on End process button.

    Now run the BlueStacks again and try to connect to the internet. This time, you should be able to search for the app without any error.

    Fix 2GB Physical Memory Error

    Bluestacks initially needed the computer to have a minimum of 1GB RAM to install on your computer. Later the company increased the requirement to a minimum of 2GB RAM. Now if you are on an old computer with less than 2GB RAM, then you will see low physical memory error in Bluestacks.

    In such situation, you may have to upgrade your RAM or get the older version of the Bluestacks app player and install it on your PC.

    Fix Unknown Error Code During Application Install 110

    The error “Unknown Error Code During Application Install 110” occurs in BlueStacks when you try to install any from the Google Play Store. This usually happens because of Google Play cache. To resolve this error, you may need to clear Google Play cache. Remove your Google account from the BlueStacks. Then, enter your Google account details from scratch and fix “Unknown Error Code During Application Install 110” error.

    Fix Couldn’t Sing In Error in Bluestacks

    Another minor yet common Bluestacks error is “Couldn’t sing in, can’t establish a reliable connection to the server” error when you try to use Bluestack. This is a temporary error and can occur due to several reasons.

    The first thing you should do is make sure that you have a stable internet connection. If the error persists, do the following.

    Close Bluestacks. Open Task Manger and look in the “Process” tab and look for Bluestacks service. If there is any Bluestacks service running, make sure to select it and click on the End process button.

    Now disconnect your Internet and disable the Internet adapter. Restart your PC to save the settings. Enable your Internet adapter and connect to the Internet. Now run Bluestacks and try to Sign in to the Google Play store and see if the error has been resolved.

    Fix Bluestacks Object Reference Not Set to an Instance

    The Bluestacks object reference not set to an instance error has been reported by so many users that this seems to a bug with the Bluestacks 2 itself.

    As a workaround, you can try downloading the previous version of Bluestacks and install it until Bluestacks 2 has been fixed for the bug.

    Fix Specified Argument was out of the range of valid values Error

    The Specified argument was out of the range of valid values error has been one of the most common errors in Bluestacks 2. It seems to occur because of screen resolution issue. This is a bug in Bluestacks 2, which needs to be fixed by the developers. However, as a workaround try these steps.

    Reduce your Screen Resolution

    The error Specified argument was out of the range of valid values occur when you run the Bluestacks 2, and the window width and height pulled up to the max available screen resolution of the monitor / display. There are two things you can do to fix it.
