Hi everyone, 

Thank you for your patience while we investigated your issue with the Upwork Time Tracker.

We are aware that some customers using Windows 7 have been unable to use the Upwork Time Tracker app and that some customers who enable TLS 1.2 on their local system are able to resolve the issue.

Please note that the Upwork Time Tracker App is compatible with the following Operating Systems:

• Windows 11 64-bit
• Windows 10 64-bit
• macOS 13 Ventura
• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS 64 bit

For the best experience, we recommend using the app with one of these Operating Systems. Although the app may work with other versions, we don’t officially support them, which means that we are limited in the troubleshooting and resolutions we can provide.

If you are using a compatible Operating System and still having issues with the Time Tracker, please reply and let us know what version you are using and (if not previously provided) what you’re currently experiencing when trying to use the app.

Hi , 

I am having issues with my Upwork desktop app. First, it was not tracking time and was showing "connection lost" but my laptop had a good internet connection. I tried to restart the app, troubleshooted it but all in vein. Then I decided to uninstall the app and all the related files, and then I reinstalled the 64 bit version according my windows. Since I reinstalled the Upwork desktop app, it is showing "We can't complete your request right now" and showing connection issue whereas I have a good internet connection and every other app and website is running smoothly. 

Please provide a working solution to this problem ASAP! I also have an active hourly project and this error is causing issues with my work.

Thanks!

The desktop app has always worked well on my computer (windows 7). I logged out and when I tried to log in, I got the same problem.
