Filezilla Not Opening

#1 Post by deslynedw » 2020-07-27 14:34

After the last update, Filezilla does not open. When hovering over the icon on the taskbar a blank window shows.If I click on the blank window the screen flashes but does not become active. Please help.

What is your operating system?

If this happens, does FileZilla consume any CPU resources or does it sit there idle?

When this happens, FileZilla consumes 8.3MB memory without alternation and a "very low" power usage.

Looks as if it is waiting on something. Do you have unavailable mapped network resources? Are you using any third-party shell extensions that deal with file icons, previews and the like?

No. I was utilizing FileZilla without issue early July then was prompted to update and now nothing. I check with our network administrator and nothing has been altered. This is how I manage our website files and right now everything is out of date because I cannot access the files. Is there a solution?

I just ran into this same problem about 30 minutes ago. I bypassed it by hovering over the blank window from the icon. While hovering over the blank window I simply right clicked and then maximized the window. (problem solved) not sure if that was the same issue but thought it would help some people all the same.
