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.

can you please share how did you sort that out

Hello Valeria. 
My Upwork time tracker v5.8.0.31 will not start, I have already killed the app and also restarted but the problem persists. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, allowing 3rd party cookies, removing the firewall, and even reverting time 15 days in the past in the computer. I have also tried downloading the 64 and 32-bit version and also the beta but it all stays the same, been having this issue since 08/05/2023 I have already notified chat support about this situation but have not received much of a solution. 
The Internet connection is strong and I am trying to work on an ASUS core i5 laptop.
Can you please advise?

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.

Hi, 

I am encountering the same issue as described in this thread. I am using windows 10. The previous version of the desktop app was working fine. When the new version updated itself, it got stuck on loading...

I used task manager to stop the loading app, uninstalled the app from control panel, set the real-time virus protection to off, downloaded the windows 64 version from upwork website, executed the desktop exe file, it got installed, but is stuck on loading...(see attached screen shot) Upwk Desktop app loading.png
