Hello, while updating my shadow, it has been stuck on “Updating your Shadow…” now for the past 20 - 30 mins.

Try uninstalling the app

coral spruce
#

radiant kiln

windows?

coral spruce
#

Mhm

errant shoal
#

so you try to install it and it does nothing?

radiant kiln
#

Install that one

#

After uninstalling

errant shoal
#

they want the beta version

coral spruce
#

I try to install it and and it gets stuck

errant shoal
#

maybe you have the current version and the beta version and it's confusing the file locations

#

i am unsure where the beta version installs. but you could try to uninstall the current version then install the beta and see if that fixes it

#

sometimes apps will install to the same version and it will try to overwirght the current version with the beta. and it will get stuck

#

Deleted all of the shadow folders in my appdata and program files

#

Installed the beta and it’s still stuck

errant shoal
#

see if you can install the origenal one.

#

if you can't install. you could contact shadow support. maybe they know why. maybe the beta is not out yet because shadow just did update there current version. so many beta is not working

#

but i mean. beta would be the same installer as the current one. because thats where the current update comes from

#

but i don't keep up to date with the news. so i am unsure if the beta is out yet or not

#

sometimes there are trases in your registry as well

#

The beta is functional.

Stop uninstalling / installing the launcher.

OP is stuck in an internal software components installation loop. It can happen. It's directly in the VM.
So uninstalling the launcher doesn't do anything.

Nothing to do for now except wait / contact support if it last more than 30 minutes.

#

i am unsure where the shadow registry is though

#

internal software loop?
