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 problem with 5.4.7.1 on Windows

Can you guys try to contact the support? I did it but Agent Fred said he would connect me to freelancer support and I'm hanging on chat for about 10 minutes without any response.

I have downloaded the UpWork desktop app on my computer. It has me agree to the terms and when I click "accept" it looks like its launching the app. The only problem is, it stays on the "Loading Upwork v.5.4.7.1" screen and I get the spinning wheel of doom FOREVER. It never moves past this step. I have tried force stopping, I have tried restarting my computer, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times (and yes, I deleted ALL UpWork related things on my computer first). 

I need help! I have a newer Mac and just downloaded the most recent system update. 

Same issue on a Linux machine.
Logs state issues with the files hosted on AWS for Upwork.
Example is:

Thank you for your response! I am unfamiliar with what that means.

I don't think I posted my issue in the correct group! Sorry!

It seems the problems has been fixed by Upwork.

I confirmed that now I can open the Upwork Desktop App. normally on Win 10 Pro and Win 7 Ultimate.

Thanks!

Works for me!

I am facing same issue

I got stuck here(attached screenshot). I opened a case that is still open for the past 48 hours. I tied some troubleshooting like changing updating multiple times, restart the system, opened as administrator, disabled antivirus, change of devices as well as the internet but no solution yet. currently having an hourly contract and the client is refusing to add manual hours

Hi Bojan, I followed your instructions and disabled the Google Sign-in but the time tracker is frozen on my desktop. What other troubleshooting can you recommend?

My Upwork Desktop client on Windows 10 environment is not working. It prompted me that a new update was ready. I pressed the later button. Later one I closed the UpWork Desktop app and relaunched it in the hope that it will update and relaunch the app. It keeps on the loading screen saying Load Upwork v.5.4.7.1 and never finishes loading the app. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled but still the same issue persists. Even tried restarting my machine and tried 64 and 32 bit versions but it stays on the loading screen

I'm facing the same issue at my desktop app.

Upwork desktop app not working please help???

I sure hope they manage to fix this today,
