What issue or error are you experiencing?

Local just starts as a blank white screen and does not proceed. I am on windows 11 pro and use a Omada Router, not sure if that helps but there is some major issue that i cant even get an interface when the program launches.

What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

System Details

  • Local Version: the latest as on aug 07 2025, i cannot see the interface

  • Operating System (OS) and OS version: windows 11 pro 24h2

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.

Hi @bharathj63

We have a Windows Troubleshooting guide below that goes over some common items worth checking. For example, make sure you’re running Local as an admin user, that you don’t have any security blockers, and that Local has access to update your Hosts file.

If you’re still having problems after that can you share a copy of your Local Logs here with us?
