Just installed. I just get a blank window.

I just installed on my Windows 10 machine. It just comes up as a blank window with Etcher in the top left of the title bar and minimize and exit on the right side.

So I uninstalled and then tried the portable. Exact same issue.

Anybody know what to do next?

I’m on a different computer and it works there. I don’t know why it doesn’t work on my laptop.

Hi Darcy,

Can you open the developer tools by pressing Control+Shift+I and send us what you see on the “Console” pane?

I’m having the same issue (on installing v1.5.74), this is the error I got in the console:

{"stack":"TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object\n at Function.entries (<anonymous>)\n at Object.init (file:///C:/Users/me/AppData/Local/Programs/balena-etcher/resources/app.asar/generated/gui.js:3951:49)\n at main (file:///C:/Users/me/AppData/Local/Programs/balena-etcher/resources/app.asar/generated/gui.js:3633:12)","message":"Cannot convert undefined or null to object"}
console.<computed> @ C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Programs\balena-etcher\resources\app.asar\node_modules\raven-js\dist\raven.js:58

It’s work working for me either, I’m getting the same problem.

Same

on 2 machines: MacOS 10.14 & 10.15

Same here on MacOS 10.15.3 with 1.5.74

/Applications/balenaEtcher.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/raven-js/dist/raven.js:58 {“stack”:“TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object\n at Function.entries ()\n at Object.init (file:///Applications/balenaEtcher.app/Contents/Resources/app/generated/gui.js:3951:49)\n at main (file:///Applications/balenaEtcher.app/Contents/Resources/app/generated/gui.js:3633:12)”,“message”:“Cannot convert undefined or null to object”}

Hi, we confirm that there’s a problem with 1.5.74. We are working to fix it. Meanwhile, can you use previous version? https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/tag/v1.5.73 . Sorry for inconvenience. Duplicate of Problems with Etcher 1.5.74 Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 .

Hi, the fix for this is now released in v1.5.75.
Thanks,
Zahari

No GUI appearing with version 1.5.74 with either Portable or Install.
Same result after rebooting the system and trying to Run as administrator.
