Facing issues while trying to create an account on the Arc browser can be incredibly frustrating. This problem is usually due to having non English characters in the name of your Users folder. Go to C:\Users<username> and change it with only English characters for this to work. If the issue was not corrected, we have more tested solutions below.

1. Disable the Developer Mode after installation

Disabling Developer Mode can sometimes resolve conflicts that prevent account creation.

2. Clear Site Data

Clearing site data resolves issues related to corrupted cookies or cache that may prevent account creation.

3. Reinstall Arc Browser

Reinstalling ensures that you have the latest version and resets any issues caused by corrupted installation files.

4. Disable conflicting extensions

Disabling extensions can help identify if any third-party software is causing conflicts during account creation.

5. Check browser’s security settings

Properly configuring security settings ensures no settings are blocking the account creation process.

6. Use a VPN

Using a VPN can bypass regional restrictions or network issues preventing account creation. For example, ExpressVPN is a great choice for this task, as it comes with servers all around the world and offers very good connection speed.
