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.

I use UpWork desktop app for Windows 10. The app cannot be loaded tonight. I see an endless download screen.

I tried it:
-Reboot
-reinstallation

But this does not help. Any advice - the client is waiting, I can't start work.

Same here.

It worked for a while, now again I'm having the same issue.

I haven't been able to access the app for almost an entire day (Windows 10).  I have tried reinstalling. I have tried killing process via task manager. It appears in my open processes tray but nothing happens when I click on it. Frustrating to read that the problem is supposedly resolved.

On Windows, you will need to open Task Manager, find Upwork under the Processes tab, select, click End task. If that doesn't help, please try reinstalling and let us know if the issue perists.
