Our VDA QMC Tools are progressive web apps which use a service worker to download all data in the background and activate it on every restart. This enables the application to be offline available with full access. It might happen that the browser get’s stuck or crashes during this background process and the tool will always start with a warning. It is possible to reset this state without deleting any data in the browser cache. This functionality is available for Edge and Chrome

Chrome

  • open “chrome://serviceworker-internals/” in the web address entry of the browser

  • you will receive a list with different service worker and you want the service worker with the domain you see in the tool (i.e. analysis-tools.de , vda-qmc-tools.de )

  • Click on “Unregister” and close the browser

Edge

  • open “edge://serviceworker-internals/” in the web address entry of the browser

  • you will receive a list with different service worker and you want the service worker with the domain you see in the tool (i.e. analysis-tools.de, vda-qmc-tools.de)

  • Click on “Unregister” and close the browser (see screenshots above)
