Upwork Desktop APP not working after update

[#1]

I recently was forced to update the desktop app on my Mac.  Since the update I open the app but no windows open.. I can't log time.

I restarted my machine.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled.  When I open the app I get the new tips window and thats about it and have to click next.

I have made sure the window has not been hiding, etc.

Please help!

Hi!

I have the same problem as Derek, after update see the screen with new features and then nothing happens, the time tracker window doesn't launch.

I was able ti "fix" this.  I had to click on the Upwork Icon in the top right corner (where your Wifi icon and battery is at).

Poor UX change.

I am on a Mac too and was forced to update today.  I am able to load the time tracker and start tracking time, but when it takes a screenshot all it captures is my desktop wallpaper.  None of the other windows I have open which actually pertain to the work I'm doing will show up.  I checked my system preferences to make sure Upwork is checked off as having permission to do screen capture, but it's still only capturing the wallpaper, not the windows I'm working in.

Hello guys,

I am doing a job with hourly payment. When I start my time, the Upwork application starts the timer fine but it is taking screenshots of upwork application and ignore any other active application. I have reinstalled the latest version but the problem did not resolved. I have also given permission of screen recording to upwork. Me and my client are having problems regarding this. Kindly resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thanks

You have to give the app permission to record,track and screenshot activities on your system.

I've this problem a number of times. I fixed the issue by clicking on the upwork icon in the top right side of the menu bar, look for the "settings" option, select "Advanced" and scroll to the bottom where you'll see a "Clear cache and Restart" option, click that. Your app will restart and you'll have to go through the initial process and relogin, but you'll be golden after that.
