Hi @noobG,

Which directory are you creating the new site in? I’ve found in the past that if you are pointing to your desktop or a cloud server (i.e. OneDrive) the process will cease to complete. It is important to ensure you are point to the local C: directory on your HDD.

I hope this helps.

Nope, tried everything and it’s the same except now it’s telling me “local’s router is having trouble starting” i hope there’s a solution, otherwise back to bitnami :confused:

Hi @noobG,

Is it possible this could be a solution? https://superuser.com/questions/1377068/how-do-i-disable-the-iis-server-on-windows-10-and-free-up-port-80

Based on the response provided here Local router is having trouble starting

It was already disabled, so i guess no.
But thanks for the effort Matt! :slight_smile:

Hi @noobG,

Sorry I can’t be more help. Unfortunately I’m running everything on macOS so I don’t have access to Windows 10. Here is another recently updated thread… This person was also have issues with Windows 10 so it’s possible it could be a permissions thing. "Heads-up! Local's router is having trouble starting" on windows 10

If this doesn’t work for you I’m all out of ideas!
