DevKinsta was working for me last week. Today, I tried to open it and it freezes at “checking system requirements” I’ve tried:

- restarting devKinsta
- reinstalling devKinsta
- updating and restarting windows
- starting docker first
- checking firewall settings (allowed)

Any ideas? I’m on Windows 10, latest.

looks like it’s using a ton of CPU as well. My guess is that something in the latest update is not playing nice.

I was able to fix this with a new clean install of both docker and devkinsta. Though, I never did find the root cause. I will leave this topic open in case anyone else has the issue.
