Developer console not loading on partial copy sandbox.

The developer console on our partial copy instance doesn't seem to load. I am able to login into Salesforce and navigate through the screens. Its just the developer console, that's hanging. Any help to get around this, will be much appreciated.

Hi Steve,

This is already a known issue in Salesforce, this happens beacuase of the workspace being in bad state. So you can either switch to another workspace or create a new workspace.

Resolution is already provided by Salesforce on below link:
https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000332898&language=en_US&type=1&mode=1 (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000332898&language=en_US&type=1&mode=1)

But if you are facing this issue constantly and want to avoid everytime following the same step, then you can have a sample vf page on your lower org, whihc will automate this process for you on button click. Refer below link for same:

HI Steve,
Check if you are given the right profile to open the developer console.(Developer console is available only to users with "View All" and "Author Apex" permissions)
