Hey @Jessy! Just to cross off a couple of things here can you verify that: - You are using this device as an Admin user? - That the device has plenty of disk space? Moving on from those, in order to refresh here and start with a clean slate could you give the below troubleshooting steps a try? - Export any sites that you have on Local and save them to a folder somewhere on your computer: [Backup a Local Site - Local](https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/how-to-backup-a-local-site/) - Fully uninstall Local from your computer following your OS specific steps here: [Uninstall Local - Local](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/uninstalling-local/) - Install the latest version of Local on this link: [Releases - Local](https://localwp.com/releases/) - Once installed, please restart the computer. - When the computer is restarted and turned on, close any applications that automatically run in the background (AntiVirus, Firewall, and other Developer applications included). - Check and see if the issue still persists. If so, please provide us with an updated log: [Retrieve Local’s Log File - Local](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/retrieving-locals-log-file/) Keep us posted and we’d be happy to help further! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.localwp.com/t/mailpit-doesnt-work-404-error/50843)._
