Hyper: Hyper 3.0.2 window does not open on Windows 10

[mrjones2014]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home version 10.0.18362

• Hyper.app version: 3.0.2
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: the file doesn't exist because the app never properly launched
• Relevant information from devtools _(CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere)_: unable to launch the app
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes. This is from a fresh install of Hyper, first launch.

Issue

When I try to launch Hyper, it _appears_ as though nothing happens. However, the weird thing is, the Hyper process _does_ show up in task manager. However, there is no icon for it on the start bar, and there is no window anywhere.

[lucassnowfall]

Same problem here. It sucks bc I used to love hyper.

[BradleyC]

Experiencing the same issue with a twist -

Had a fully functional Hyper terminal. After a reboot today, window opened but immediately stalled out (empty screen, can carriage return but no text from input or from system). Contents of config file had reverted to defaults. Attempted to update config, save, and reload program, but Hyper kept stalling and reverting config.

Attempted uninstall / reinstall. Fun animation plays on install, and then GUI vanishes (though process is still active in task manager).

• OS version and name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home version 10.0.18362 build 476

UPDATE
Issue may not be directly related to Hyper.
After this issue started, VS Code refused to talk to WSL Ubuntu. Then Powershell was missing lxrun... Made several nonproductive attempts to diagnose.
Ubuntu seems deleted but can't install over Microsoft Store. Still investigating the issue, but need to backburner this for now.

[endreujhelyi]

Have similar issue when I start to install hyper. The installation window pops up and see it in the task manager, then suddenly quit and nothing happens.

[sachin3973]

I am having exactly same issue Hyper is not opening but weirdly showing in Task manager. But I installed Hyper today only and as I using windows 10 I have to add some path inside the ".hyper" to connect it with git. So, I added that path after that it is not opening, I reinstalled it multiple times. But it remains unsolved.

[endreujhelyi]

I managed the issue by removing the hyper folder from the _/Users/[username]/AppData/Local_ folder and restarted the installation.

[mrjones2014]

@endreujhelyi this did not fix the issue for me.

[raphtlw]

Can confirm, moments after installling this terminal did this start happening out of the blue.
@endreujhelyi This did not work for me.

[NachoKai]

Same problem...

[saulmaos]

Same problem

[SajjanKarn]

Same Problem Guys!

[mrjones2014]

Disappointing that this hasn't even been looked at 😢

[LabhanshAgrawal]

@mrjones2014 Can you give the latest canary a try? From here.

[LabhanshAgrawal]

Uninstall the older version and remove the hyper folder from %LOCALAPPDATA% to ensure a clean install.

[saulmaos]

@LabhanshAgrawal i tried the canary version and crashed after installing it

[mrjones2014]

@LabhanshAgrawal same here

[SajjanKarn]

Plzz help us if anyone knows here

[LabhanshAgrawal]

I am not able to reproduce this.
Can some of you try the steps from here , run the dev environment and report the output of yarn run dev & yarn run app

[SajjanKarn]

Hey Guys I have found the solution

1.) Open the CMD as Administrator
and run this...

gpupdate /force

then uninstall hyper and remove its folder from these directories..
%appdata% and %localappdata%

Install Hyper Again

and then restart your PC. Problem Solved!

It worked, good job!

[mrjones2014]

@SajjanKarn worked for me too!

[mrjones2014]

@SajjanKarn actually, it worked for first launch for me. then I have this same issue again.

[SajjanKarn]

Bro, Again Follow The Same Steps Maybe It Should Work...

[mrjones2014]

@SajjanKarn having to do this every time I want to launch a terminal is not a solution.

[LabhanshAgrawal]

do you all have the windows dark mode on? If yes, can you please once confirm whether Hyper opens if you uninstall and delete the hyper folder from %appdata% and %localappdata% , switch to light mode and install.

[raphtlw]

@LabhanshAgrawal it happened to me in light mode

[lucassnowfall]

I honestly have up about hyper. Can't make it work with bash anymore.

this worked for me but..

I'm on Udemy(enrolled in webdev bootcamp) now and our instructor had asked us to install Hyper and edit its preferences with the Hyper config

After editing the preferences, I close Hyper to reload the update but it doesn't open again. Is there an alternative that works similar to Hyper that I can use? Otherwise, I'm just stuck on Udemy 🤣 appreciate your help

[mrjones2014]

@annikamarayag sounds like you had the same issue as me where it works for first launch, but then the issue starts again after closing it the first time.

As far as a replacement, I tried Fluent Terminal on Windows, but eventually settled on Cmder.

[ghost]

i could solve that problem with just removing "Network Persistent State" file from Appdata/Roaming/Hyper/
now it's working!

I had the same issue (I think I am on the same Udemy course as well!). The configuration that the instructor gave us had this on line 69

"shell: 'C:\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe',"

This was not the location where I had installed my git-bash. I changed the path to point to the right folder which see to have fixed the issue. (Note that the double backslash may still be needed to escape backslash character)

[HollyHjj]

I solve that problem with the following steps:
1.uninstall Hyper
2.delete its two folders:
C:\Users...\AppData\Local\hyper
C:\Users....\AppData\Roaming\Hyper
3.restart PC and install Hyper Again

Solution:

1. Go to Control Panel and uninstall Hyper
2. Do the combination Ctrl + R, type in %appdata% and delete Hyper folder. Then type %localappdata% and delete the hyper folder.
3. Install Hyper again. You do not need to download the setup again, just run it.

PS: For those enrolled in the Angela Yu's Udemy course, you can copy the configuration course and paste it in the preferences file of Hyper. But for those who did not install Git on C drive, like me and installed somewhere in their desired location, just navigate to that location until you find git-cmd in the files, then from the address bar (located at the top having an icon of a folder, has > then your drive name, etc) copy the address by clicking in the address bar. Now open the preferences file of Hyper and find the shell key and paste the address between the quotation marks. Now double the forward slashes like so "//". At the end of the address, place double slashes and write "git-cmd.exe", without the quotation marks. After doing that, you will get a notification confirming the change to the configurations. Now go to file and either open a new tab or open a new window to test it out before closing Hyper and opening it again.

Hope it helps. Cheers!

Alternative:
Hello guys if you are learning Angela Yu's WebDevelopment model then there is no need to go through Hyper. U can use your command prompt everything is working.

Only for Creation of file you have to use : type nul>filename.js
Rest of the things are working fine.

[SHOAIB2110]

Just check if you have installed Git-Bash before installing Hyper.
If not ,than install both,then cheak .
It work out for me....

[prakpk]

I had the same issue. Resolved it by reinstalling Git in the default directory:
'C:\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe'. Did the job for me.

I had the same issue but the issue was resolved after

1. I deleted hyper from "local " and "roaming" present in "AppData" folder.
2. Reinstalled hyper.
3. If you are taking Udemy course and facing the same problem again after changing the preferences, try changing the path location from " shell: 'C:\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe', " to path where your git-cmd is located. ( For example: I had saved it in E:\Git\git-cmd.exe'. ) before editing it in the hyper terminal.
4. Reopen the hyper terminal.

[rafamerlin]

So, I'm having the exact same issue, however, if I run it as administrator it just works.
Funnily enough, I'm having the same issue with windows terminal, it won't run anything if not as administrator. Maybe it's some configuration on windows or something?

[Megumin-Master]

@ivycmg and anyone else having the same difficulties, make sure that you have git installed in your ssd, not your hdd.

Follow the same instructions you were given by the previous instructions, but before you open hyper, reinstall git and make sure it's installed in your ssd.

I hope this helps in some way.

@Megumin-Master I've been searching for this issue for the last few days and it helps! I'm stuck with my online course because of this. Thank you very much!

[ankawas]

Hi guys, all of you who are stuck on this issue. I suggest using Microsoft power shell which is the inbuilt command line for shell scripting. There is no point in wasting time to fix this issue or get stuck because of it. Hyper does not have anything special that Power shell does not have.

[mrjones2014]

@ankawas Hyper and Powershell aren't the same thing at all. It's apples to oranges. Powershell is a _shell_, Hyper is a _terminal emulator_.

[ankawas]

@mrjones2014 Thanks for the clarification. But is there anything particularly in this course that can't be done on PowerShell? Also is there any place where I can see what the exact difference is? I just want to see if there is something that can't be done on PowerShell and you would absolutely need a Terminal emulator for your Windows.

[mrjones2014]

@ankawas this issue wasn't started from any course, I opened it because I liked Hyper as a terminal emulator. As far as the difference between Powershell and Hyper, the comparison would be like asking "what is the difference between a computer and a keyboard?". Here is a brief overview of the terms.

[mrjones2014]

@ankawas you can even use Powershell _within_ Hyper.

[ankawas]

@mrjones2014 Thank you for the link. I apologize if my comment offended you in any way. I am still learning the concepts.
My comment was meant for the people who were stuck in the course because of this issue. Also, I don't think the analogy of keyboard and computer work in this scenario. If the purpose was to make me look dumb then that's different.

@ankawas sorry, didn't mean to make you look dumb, that was definitely not my intention. All I meant was that using Powershell isn't a solution for the real issue here.

@mrjones2014 That's okay bro. And thanks for the link. I definitely want to clear out my doubts about this issue.
Have a nice day!

Hey Guys I have found the solution

1.) Open the CMD as Administrator
and run this...

gpupdate /force

then uninstall hyper and remove its folder from these directories..
%appdata% and %localappdata%

Install Hyper Again

and then restart your PC. Problem Solved!

This worked, thank you so much :D

this worked for me but..

I'm on Udemy(enrolled in webdev bootcamp) now and our instructor had asked us to install Hyper and edit its preferences with the Hyper config

After editing the preferences, I close Hyper to reload the update but it doesn't open again. Is there an alternative that works similar to Hyper that I can use? Otherwise, I'm just stuck on Udemy 🤣 appreciate your help

Broooo doing the same udemy course.Please help.How to proceed

I had the same issue,
I solve it by uninstall the app and then manually delete the hyper folder from AppData -> Roaming & AppData -> Local
after that I reinstall the app and now it will load.
