Description Of Issue
I click to start Roon and it shows the Quote splash page and then goes to the blank page with the pulsating Roon symbol and then stays there forever ( I left it overnight)
I reinstalled without uninstalling and then uninstalled (program files only) and reinstalled. Both times I end up in the same state. See picture
Is this a new installation or did this used to work previously? If it’s something that worked before, was there anything that changed around the time this started occurring? Have you tried rebooting the Core machine?
The installation has been working for over 1 year until yesterday. It is my core installation.
I don’t believe I changed anything and I was only running some memory diagnostics. I did reboot the system after one of my reinstall attempts.
I just did find the following:
Close Roon
Go to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Roon
Move all folders accept the ‘Application’ folder to any other folder ( do not delete them, because that’s your actually database which contains all edits, playlists, play history etc. )
If you’ve taken Settings==>Backups then this step isn’t necessary to preserve these things.
Don’t know what @dylan will suggest, but if you do have Roon library backups you could 'Set up Roon Core on this PC" as in the above and then do a Roon library Restore. That will restore all your edits, playlists, play history, etc.
Along those lines, if you’re going to install a new copy of Roon, you might want to rename your old database folder.
