Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/1584

How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

Its been 8 hours and oh boy the desktop app is not even loading and I don't even know why.

I've disabled my anti-viruses and config windows security firewall and so as running the app on administrator, it still won't load.

Please help me how to fix this or just be fixed. Thanks.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

When you say it's not loading, is it just getting stuck on the loading/splash screen? Are you running the docker or local development version of AnythingLLM at the same time?

This is 100% a client-side issue as if this was a bug in the traditional sense, every windows user would have it. More information is need to help debug this. We can continue the conversation in this thread, but will close the issue as a bug.

The same happens to me; the API works, but the graphical interface is not loading. I think it's due to a RAM or CPU issue because I have another computer where it works, and the difference is that it has better specs.

You must be trying to use nvidia-nim as your LLM_PROVIDER + the NVIDIA_NIM_LLM_MODE key set to managed. NIM is probably not available on your device because WSL is not available either.

Open the storage folder for the desktop app and edit the .env file and remove the NVIDIA_NIM_LLM_MODE value from he env. Then save and reopen the app.

You cannot use NVIDIA NIM on platforms that dont have WSL support.
