Warning pop up - Upwork Seems to be unresponsive

I keep getting the error "Upwork seems to be unresponsive. You can wait while application becomes responsive or restart it. Would you like to restart?" The app is still timing perfectly so I click 'No' and within a few seconds it's back again. If I restart it's ok for a while, but then it just starts up again - sometimes only a minute or two later.  Other times it doesn't show again until I log on the next time. I can also work for an hour or so before it shows.

 

I'm on a Macbook.  This is also happening now using the site, even though the timer is now off.

May I ask for your assistance too? I keep getting the same message. It's been like 2 weeks since it started. I have already removed and reinstalled Upwork client, it didn't help. Macbook Pro, Catalina 10.15.5.

Hi Marcin,

 

I apologize for the inconvenience this caused. Can you please uninstall your current version of the Upwork Dekstop app and try to install this version.

 

Let me know if it will work for you.

Thank you!

Hello Bojan,

 

I have uninstalled previous and installed the provided version, but now it says "Internet connection not detected. Please check your connectivity settings and then restart the app". Needless to say, internet connection works properly, I'm typing this very message 🙂

Hello! I was having the same issue and reinstalled the Upwork app using the link you provided. I am now receiving the attached error when opening the newly installed version (I am connected to the internet just fine.)

Hi Laura and Marcin,

 I had a similar issue and in the end I changed my loging from Google-login to direct loging with my email address and a password on the site.   This solved it for me.

 

Re-installing did not help at all.

I am having this same issue. I searched and have not found an answer yet. I have reinstalled to the newest version and it still pops up. If I'm working on a job it will pop up over and over again after I have restarted the app multiple times. 

Hi Christine,

 

Could you, please refer to this help article for troubleshooting tips and let us know if you still experience issues after applying them? Please try performing steps from the "How to completely delete the Upwork Desktop App's cache" section.

 

Thank you!

Hi Artur,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Are you also using a MacBook like Cherry? If so, could you please try to force stop the desktop app and relaunch it?
