Hi @tech If you create a new, blank site in Local can you access that okay? If you can, then you may want to try reimporting the site getting the errors. The steps would look like this: - Locate the site files on your machine, and save a copy of them to your desktop. If you click `Go to Site Folder` under your site name it should take you right to where they are located. - Once you have those copied, completely delete the site from Local - Restart Local/your machine - Reimport the site back into Local. You can refer here on how to [Restore from only Local site files](https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/how-to-import-a-wordpress-site-into-local/#restore-local-site-from-site-files) ---

Are you looking for the SQL folder on your new, blank site or do you need the SQL for your previous site to import? ---

Did you have content in the database for that site? You could use the database from the new, blank site and then just manually move over your WP-Content if that is all you had.

Is it in the sql folder that has the images and texts? The most important thing was the texts, will it be possible to recover ---

What do you mean by your texts? Your pages and posts? Your images will be in your media library which is your wp-content/uploads. Do you see those in there? If you’re not seeing the SQL folder in there, or by manually searching elsewhere on your machine, then it may be that the power outage caused it’s disappearance it might be irrecoverable. The only other thing you could try would be a time machine backup if you had one like this: > **[Microsoft Windows 10 PCs have their own Apple Time Machine feature](https://www.portableone.com/Tech-News/Microsoft-Windows-10-PCs-have-their-own-Apple-Time-Machine-feature)** > > Backup uses File History, which is another feature built into Windows 10. These two features can be accessed through a simple, minimalist interface with almost identical functionality as Apple Time Machine, minus the flashy background and... ---

Hello, I’m also facing the same error when I try to create a new blank site. It is the first time I’m using Local so I dont have any previous sites. Could you please suggest what could be the issue? I googled and the most frequent solution suggested was to check the windows username for special characters, which I don’t have. Also, I have ample disk space, so not sure what could be the source of the problem. ![provision_error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/f/7/f7ad12c27097f53a7ca1fadd138018003b68472c.jpeg) [local-lightning.log](https://community.localwp.com/uploads/short-url/sguTSiNB3UfX2phhmvm4AOYfOY5.log) (12.3 KB) [local-lightning-verbose.log](https://community.localwp.com/uploads/short-url/7QwzVXl3oq2L0G2yNSLZDT0hFlC.log) (55.7 KB) ---

Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local? Are you using Local as an Admin user? Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? That could also cause similar issues. Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example. ---

Hello Nick! Thanks for the reply. I have Microsoft Defender turned on. Yes, I’m an admin user. No other developer app is running. I’ll try to disable defender and then check. Interestingly, when I tried Local on a different system, the website was created successfully. ---

I’m glad to hear you were able to get Local working on another system! You could check some threads like these to make sure Windows defender isn’t blocking anything: > **[Application blocked by windows defender application control - Microsoft Q&A](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1312296/application-blocked-by-windows-defender-applicatio)** > > My applications are being blocked by Windows Defender Application Control and I can't seem to turn it off. I've checked Intune policies, Group Policy, RegEdit and they are have PUA disabled, but I still can't open apps that I used to able to use.
