Hello, I install localwp on my computer. I see localwp run on task manager. But it’s not open on my computer. Last 2 years I use Localwp. So I install and uninstall Localwp many times. Last 2/3 months I face this problem and not open on my computer. Could anyone help me to solve this problem? Thank you ---

Hi @yasinsarkar Some items to check here: - Are you using this machine as an admin user? - Do you have any antivirus, security, or firewall applications that could be blocking Local? - Are you running other developer applications simultaneously? Apps like MAMP, XAMPP, or Docker for example. ---

1. Yes, I use as an admin user. 2. No, I use Windows computer. I think it’s a default firewall. 3. Yes, my computer installed XAMPP. ---

You might want to check that your security or firewall setup isn’t blocking Local and your hosts file isn’t set to read only. > [@Help!
