Today GlassWire was running very slow and was unresponsive. I restarted my computer thinking that that would solve my issue, but no luck. I then decided that uninstalling and reinstalling might help me to get back to normal. However, the uninstaller has been stuck on this for nearly 30 minutes:
Aside from this my computer is operating normally. I’m running the latest version of GlassWire 1.2.64 on a Windows 10 machine. The only new thing that I’ve done with my computer is install Visual Studio 2015 yesterday. I don’t know if that has anything to do with my issue today, but you never know.
After waiting a while longer I ended the task from the task manager. I then tried to reinstall since the program does not show up under the uninstall list of the control panel. However, when attempting to install the programs says that the folder “GlassWire” already exist and asks if I would like to merge it. Should I click the “yes” option? Or delete the folder and see if that will work?
I deleted the folder and was able to reinstall GlassWire. However, the software ran really slow, the menu from the task bar will not lunch. I try to uninstall buck was back to having the same issue were the progress got stuck:
Confirmed, real time protection (Windows Defender) appears to be the issue. I turned it off and I was able to uninstall and reinstall fine. Furthermore, the menu from the tray icon started working again. I already had all the latest Window updates, however, I rechecked again but I’m all updated. Should I active my Basic account again with GlassWire or wait to see if other issues pop-up?
