Reinstall the App
If you are experiencing the issue of NordVPN background process not running on your Android device, one of the troubleshooting steps you can try is reinstalling the app. Reinstalling the app can help fix any software bugs or glitches that may be causing the background process to not run properly.
To reinstall the NordVPN app on your Android device, follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Apps” or “Applications”.
3. Locate and tap on “NordVPN” in the list of installed apps.
4. Tap on “Uninstall” and confirm the uninstallation.
5. Once the app is uninstalled, go to the Google Play Store.
6. Search for “NordVPN” and tap on the app in the search results.
7. Tap on “Install” to download and install the app again.
8. Once the installation is complete, open the NordVPN app and log in with your credentials.
By reinstalling the app, you are essentially starting with a fresh installation, which can help resolve any issues with the background process not running. If the problem persists after reinstalling, you may want to contact NordVPN support for further assistance.
Clear App Cache
If you’re experiencing the issue of the NordVPN background process not running on your Android device, clearing the app cache may help resolve the problem. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Apps” or “Applications”.
3. Locate and tap on the NordVPN app from the list of installed apps.
4. Tap on “Storage” or “Storage & cache”.
5. Tap on “Clear cache” to delete the temporary files stored by the app.
Clearing the app cache can often fix issues related to software bugs or corrupted data. By removing the cached files, you allow the app to start fresh the next time you use it. This troubleshooting step is especially useful when you encounter problems with the background process not running properly.
If clearing the app cache doesn’t resolve the issue, you may also try clearing the app data. However, keep in mind that clearing the app data will remove your login information and any personalized settings, so you will need to log in again and set up the app from scratch.
If you’re using NordVPN on a different operating system, such as iOS or Windows, you may need to follow a slightly different process to clear the app cache. Refer to the relevant documentation or support resources for your specific device or operating system.

- Swipe left or right to navigate through the open apps and locate the NordVPN app.
- Swipe up on the NordVPN app to close it. Alternatively, you can tap on the Close or X button.
- If the app doesn’t close, press and hold the NordVPN app icon until a menu appears, then select Close or End Task.
- After closing the app, restart your Android device to ensure all processes are properly ended.
