Hi @instaismylife01-arch! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

For WAN models to show up in ComfyUI Desktop, make sure you’re placing each model file in the correct subfolder: diffusion models in models/diffusion_models/, text encoders in models/text_encoders/, VAE in models/vae/, and CLIP Vision in models/clip_vision/. The file names must match what the workflow expects (e.g., wan2.1_fun_inp_1.3B_bf16.safetensors) reference.

If your models are stored outside the default models directory, you need to add their paths to extra_models_config.yaml (for Desktop, this is at C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\ComfyUI\extra_models_config.yaml on Windows). Make sure this file exists and is correctly configured, then restart the app reference.

If you installed ComfyUI Desktop inside the application folder (like under Program Files), the updater may wipe your models/configs during updates. Move your models/config folders outside the app install directory (e.g., to Documents) and update the System Paths in the app settings reference.

On AMD Z1 Extreme, ComfyUI Desktop is not officially supported and may be unstable or fail to load models, even if the portable version works. The desktop app tries to install AMD ROCm and PyTorch packages, but support is less mature than for NVIDIA GPUs reference. If the app exits automatically, try resetting the virtual environment: close ComfyUI, delete the .venv folder in your base path, and restart the app to force a fresh environment setup reference.

If you still don’t see the models, check the logs (main.log and comfyui.log in your user/config folder) for errors about missing models, config issues, or virtual environment problems.

Let me know if you want a step-by-step checklist for these troubleshooting steps.

Hi, @instaismylife01-arch. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You reported that WAN models placed in the models folder do not appear in Comfy UI desktop after restart.
The portable version shows the models but crashes on launch, with your system using an AMD Z1 Extreme.
Troubleshooting steps were provided including correct folder placement, configuring extra_models_config.yaml, avoiding Program Files installation, and resetting the virtual environment.
You mentioned having tried all suggested steps without success.
The issue remains unresolved, possibly due to hardware compatibility and stability challenges.

Next Steps:

Please let us know if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of the Comfy UI desktop by commenting here.
If we do not hear back within 7 days, this issue will be automatically closed.
