RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

Steps to Reproduce:

Ensure Docker Desktop is installed and running on Windows.
Activate Python environment (venv or virtualenv).
Install langgraph-cli using pip install langgraph-cli.
Run langgraph up command.

Expected Behavior:

The langgraph up command should start successfully and execute without errors, leveraging Docker functionality on Windows.

Actual Behavior:

Encountered a NotImplementedError related to add_signal_handler and subsequent errors related to os.killpg and Event loop is closed.

Environment Details:

Operating System: Windows 11
Python Version: 3.11

Additional Context:

I have Docker Desktop installed and running on my Windows machine. This issue prevents me from using langgraph-cli effectively for my development workflows.

Was having the same issue...

so created a very hacky workaround (using a cursor.so) to get it working on windows...

I changed my local \site-packages\langgraph_cli\exec.py

to the below code and it has worked to create the docker image and containers.

ive only ran it once, so be warned...

@ahsanshah commented on GitHub (May 24, 2025):

It seems like Langgraph is not useable in Windows (despite now we say we no longer need a Desktop App in a Mac and its compatible) has anyone addresses this issue cleanly on Windows or is the best way just avoid Windows for Langgraph.

@ahsanshah,
I was having the issue in Windows environment as below,
"langgraph : The term 'langgraph' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

Then I created a ".venv" environment and opened the "Integrated Terminal" in it e.g., "...venv>"
After that I could execute all the below commands,

langgraph --version

pip show langgraph
