I am running a Next.js app with the command npm run dev, but the development server just hangs without any errors. The terminal output shows only:

and then stays stuck. The server never starts fully (no localhost URL is shown) and there are no error messages.

Environment:

Node.js version: v22.11.0

npm version: 11.5.1

Next.js version: 15.4.5

React and ReactDOM version: 19.1.0

I need help , I have tried deleting node modules , cleaning cache still I am stuck with this issue

I had this same issue when i ran two next servers at the same time.
One was using port 3000, and the other was supposed to use 3001, but for some reason, it just froze.
Sometimes, it'll show compiling and just freeze.

what's the solution??

idle cradle Jul 30, 2025, 6:18 PM

#

Twas weird.
I ended up killing the first server, and ran the other next server on a new instance of my terminal.
And it worked.

#

How to do that

#

because it is working fine is production

#

but in developer mode it keeps showing me that

#

I haven't worked on any next app before

#

It is my first time learning next

Try opening the folder in command prompt.
Then run the command again.
It could be a vs code bug

#

I will let you know once I do that

#

but I have literally tried everything

#

installed the latest node version

#

deleting node moduled

#

creating next app again and again

#

wheat wedge I will let you know once I do that

Okay no problem

wheat wedge Jul 30, 2025, 6:27 PM

#

This is weird.

#

Create a new separate next project and try to run it.
Let's see if the issue is from the project or something else.

wheat wedge Jul 30, 2025, 6:42 PM

#

You want me to create in new directory or at the same location

#

As I have tried creating new next projects at the same location

idle cradle Jul 30, 2025, 6:50 PM

#

wheat wedge As I have tried creating new next projects at the same location

Do they run successfully

wheat wedge Jul 30, 2025, 6:54 PM

#

What do you mean by run?

#

When I do npx create-next-app@latest there are no errors

#

Create a new next project somewhere else using this command.
And then run it with npm run dev.

Okay, so it's not an issue with the project.

#

Try restarting ur laptop.

wheat wedge Jul 30, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

restarting doesn't work

Maybe try using Node.js v20?

tranquil raptor Jul 31, 2025, 12:53 PM

#

I would try using WSL instead. It’s known that nextjs has had issues running on windows

wheat wedge Jul 31, 2025, 1:30 PM

#

what's WSL?

#

linux?

wheat wedge linux?

Yeah linux on windows

#

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

Install WSL

Install Windows Subsystem for Linux with the command, wsl --install. Use a Bash terminal on your Windows machine run by your preferred Linux distribution - Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Kali, Fedora, Pengwin, Alpine, and more are available.
