After installing the extension and restarting, it keeps getting stuck on this interface. I have to close the window and reopen it to use it normally. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Hey @Ryden-kai! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions. Let's figure out the issue with the extension together!

I found a similar closed issue titled "[Bug]: ComfyUI 0.4.12 is freezed after installing a custom node and pressing the restart button](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/desktop/issues/688)" which was resolved by a pull request that removed the 'beforeunload' handler, as it was unusable in Electron [1].

To troubleshoot the issue you're experiencing, you can try the following steps:

  1. Click Show Terminal to view error output.
  2. Click Open Logs to view installation logs.
  3. Visit the official forum to search for error reports.
  4. Click Reinstall to try reinstalling the application.

If the application fails to start, check for any unhandled exceptions during server start or app startup in the logs. You can also use the START_TROUBLESHOOTING IPC channel to access a troubleshooting page, which requires the installation to be complete. If the troubleshooting page cannot be loaded, a critical error message will be shown, and the app will close, suggesting a reinstallation if the issue persists [2][3].

To continue talking to Dosu, mention @dosu.
