Thank you for trying that and sharing this screenshot, @charlesjr.
Please could you try these steps? They will help to rule out incompatible addons or broken Local services.
- Quit Local.
- Open Windows File Explorer.
- Enable “show hidden files and folders”.
- Navigate to This PC → [Your hard drive] → Users → [Your username] → AppData → Roaming → Local.
- Rename the ‘addons’ folder to ‘addons-backup’.
- Rename the ‘lightning-services’ folder to ‘lightning-services-backup’.
- Start Local. It will recreate those folders for you with a clean state. If Local now launches, you can reinstall any add-ons you were using.
If that does not help, it’s also worth double-checking that no antivirus or security programs are stopping Local from running processes or accessing the filesystem.
