That’s definitely odd and sounds like it might be bug that another user was experiencing: > **[1 site is always auto-started](https://community.localwp.com/t/1-site-is-always-auto-started/25775/3)** > > It’s just a UI issue: https://share.getcloudapp.com/rRujvg8B I know you’re on Windows, and the other thread is for a Mac, but it seems like this might be an issue with Local’s UI. Can you verify that it’s just the icons that are broken and not the actual site? You might view that screencast that was shared by the other user, but in general: 1. Quit Local and open the app 2. For a site that appears already running, try clicking the “Open Site” button and see if it loads in the browser. 3. Try stopping/starting the site and again try accessing it in the browser > [@fourwhitesocks](#): > > Is this a harder tax/stress on my laptop to have all of those extra sites running? I’m guessing this is more of a visual thing and no sites are actually running. I’d still like to get to the bottom of why Local thinks those things are running, but in terms of it being hard on your computer, I don’t think that it is. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.localwp.com/t/local-ui-shows-cloned-sites-as-running-even-when-stopped/25783)._
