Friday Night
my goodness
my Open Live Writer was
suddenly not working again
not responding when I clicked open
*
it has never given me any issue
ever since it was made open-source
from Window Live Writer to
Open Live Writer back in Dec 2015
*
in fact I was updating a previous post
which I didn't close since yesterday
it was successfully published
*
when i wanted to open a new post
it refused to open or it crashed
i forgot because
i wasn't taking it seriously
*
so i restarted the app all over again
to find that it was not responding
it's like nothing will ever happen
no matter how many times
I clicked on it
*
i restarted my PC
and even tried downloading
the latest version
but it didn't work as well
unfortunately
*
i was writing this from
the online Blogger editor
and i am so not used to the format
*
there are things
i would like to blog about
on a Friday night!!!
so i really hope Open Live Writer
will be back as soon as possible
*
I checked on GitHub and their FB page
thank goodness!!!
you are not the only one...
*
some other users were facing
the same issues as mine
and it was due to
an update they have released
*
oh man
it’s kinda sad
being such an user-friendly app
the page has barely 600+ likes
and you can figure out
from the likes of the post itself
*
it's the most important app on my PC
minus those I am using for work
like literally pinned to taskbar
*
it's kinda weird
it didn't even open
it's not even a crash or bug
it just refused to open
*
let's see
the page admin suggested
an update of .NET framework
*
and i can't update my .NET
because i had disabled
my Windows update
*
so what i gonna do now is
download a standalone
Windows update package
and update .Net 4.6.1
to see if it will get
my Open Live Writer
running again
*
Saturday morning
12 hours later
my Open Live Writer is
finally up and running again
From Windows Update
to .NET update
*
goodness me
download was taking forever
installation was taking forever
restarting was taking forever
working on update was still…
but it nevertheless works!!!
*
well… that actually
makes my weekend
in spite being
full working days
i shall find time to blog
*
