Roon unable to connect to PC on Windows 11 despite firewall adjustments (ref#4FUGKF)

I tried removing all firewalls and privacy settings, and unable to connect. When I try to uninstall the app

Cleared Cache - still will not connect using this PC - Windows desktop

Have you tried and clicked on “Select a different Roon Server”?

Have you tried and clicked on “Select a different Roon Server”? I don’t see this option. I am trying to use my PC as the server

Maybe you did this already though? Anyway, the message form the attempt to uninstall implies Roon Server is currently running, so maybe a firewall is blocking access:

What’s happening?

· I'm having trouble connecting to Roon

What type of connection issue?

· Something else

How can we help?

· None of the above

Other options

· My Roon software won't start up

Describe the issue

I am unable to connect Roon to my PC - Windows 11 - I tried disabling all firewalls - I tried uninstalling Roon, but it says it is running in the backround

Describe your network setup

AMD Ryzen 5 6600H with Radeon Graphics - attlocal.net, connected by ethernet

Then you never uninstalled it. RoonServer is a separate program that gets installed when you install Roon. Look in the hidden icons section of the notification area of the Windows Taskbar, indicated by a carot like so…

aasdfasdf

If you click that to reveal the hidden icons you should see a RoonServer icon, like so…

If you right click that icon, you should see a menu that allows you to stop the server, choose whether or not it starts at startup, etc. like so…

If you quit the RoonServer from that menu, that should allow you to re-install Roon without getting any messages that it is running.

One support ticket per case is usually enough:

Good day @Bradley_Tamkin !

From your last screenshot I can see that you have an option “Set up a Roon Server on this PC”. Have you tried to use it ? Obviously, it means that it will be a new server .

However, if you want to reinstall Roon, please find a Roon’s icon in System Dock menu and disable Roon Server on Startup, that should allow you to safely uninstall Roon.

Other than that you can try to open Task manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and search for Roon processes manually (just enter “roon” in search bar) and kill them.

Let us know please whether it is helpful.

@Bradley_Tamkin - If, as you said earlier, you are trying to use your PC as your Roon Server, then the screenshot you posted “searching for Roon OS Server” is misleading - your Roon Server will be running on Windows, not Roon OS.

Roon OS is only relevant for Nucleus models or ROCK/NUC installations.

No matter what I do Roon will not open

No matter what I do to try and uninstall it this message appears. I have tried in all the files and everywhere I can look

How do I make Roon Quit !!!

@alex_h gave you two methods to stop Roon Server running in his earlier post:

Good day @Bradley_Tamkin !

Have you tried to kill all Roon instances via Task manager ?

Other than that you can try to run the following command in CMD in order to kill all roon instances

taskkill /f /im roon*.exe

Let us know please if that has worked for you.

Regards.

Yes I am good to go - Thanks
