The GlassWire service stopped running

I’ve also had what seems to be the same problem with GlassWire. It has not started correctly twice since using the latest version 1.1.39. It is working after I reinstalled the same version.

Other changes may be related to the issue:

  • I’ve had to install Windows 10 v1511 by resetting Windows.
  • I’ve changed antivirus from Avira Free to BitDefender Home Free.
  • Both times I’d used CCleaner to free up disk space and uninstall programs before restarting Windows.

Another issue arose this morning when GlassWire had started and appeared to be running correctly. A second grayed out GlassWire icon was visible in the notification area (previously called the system tray) to the left of the colored icon. I only saw it for a second after the taskbar appeared so I might have been mistaken. the grayed icon may have been there for a lot longer but my taskbar is set to autohide so I didn’t see it. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough to copy the screen before it was gone.
