When I logged in this morning I found that GlassWire had failed in a way I haven’t seen before. The mini viewer showed no traffic and did not show the remote connection:
The GlassWire services were still running but the GlassWire desktop application would not run:
- Clicking (left or right mouse button) on the GlassWire icon did nothing so I couldn’t get the GlassWire menu.
- Restarting the GlassWire desktop application did nothing.
I had to end the GlassWire tasks using Task Manager before the desktop application would run.
The alerts at my other computer showed that GlassWire disconnected two days ago at 12.37pm which was when I restarted the computer with the problem. I couldn’t reconnect GlassWire on the other computer until after I manually restarted GlassWire on the problem computer.
At the computer with the problem I had restarted it and cleared all history. Apparently, it didn’t reconnect at that time although it had correctly done so just before this when I had rebooted at 11.47am and 11.57am:
At that time GlassWire appeared to be working OK. The only change I then made was the next day when I turned on all the GlassWire security alerts Fortunately I did that because it shows that GlassWire was still actively recording idle time even though it was not responsive.
