Hi All,

 

We'd like to confirm that the issue has been resolved. To launch the App, you may need to  shut it down or "kill" it via system tools. On Mac it can be done via Activity Monitor utility. On Windows you will need to open Task Manager, find Upwork under Processes tab, select, click End task.

Same here. It's just stuck on loading permanantly. Going to have to do manual time today until it can hopefully get fixed.

yes, this seems like a software issue, tried to find another solutions but nothing, so had to post here.

Yeah, that doesn't help. Windows troubleshooting doesn't help either.

Hi,

the Upwork Desktop App does not load anymore. I did the update yesterday, it worked, today it doesnt. It stays with the "loading icon" (see picture)

 

What do I do? Uninstall and reinstall does not work.

 

I need to work so it would be good to hear from you fast.

 

Thanks

Hi, 

 

I'm having some issues with your desktop app for windows 10 version 2004, since this morning the app stock at loading and nothing happens, and it is stuck for about more than an hour as you can see on the screen capture.

 

Could you please assist me to solve this issue?

 

Thanks.

I can't log in via the desktop app, as it is stuck at loading. My google login is already disabled as I always logged in with email/password.

 

I could use the app fine 5 hours ago.

I was asked to update the desktop app for Mac today, and now when I try to open the app it just keeps on loading forever. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but the issue remains. Anyone else with the same issue?
