Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

And I just noticed another issue. It takes too long to startup or start my site

Hi @Franklyn

What version of Windows specifically are you on?

Have you tried changing your Router Mode yet?

Preferences>Advanced>Router Mode

Windows 10 pro.
Yes I changed that to local host

So it doesn’t make a difference if it’s on Localhost or Site Domains?

You might check some items like these:

  • Make sure you running as an admin user
  • Make sure Local has access to update the machine including Hosts File
  • Check if Local is being blocked by any security, antivirus or firewall applications

Here are some examples:
