How to fix frozen "Update in progress... Loading [3] of 2 components" status
Table of contents
When you install or update the app, a green progress bar at the top shows browser components being downloaded. Normally, this takes 5–10 minutes, depending on your Internet speed.
But sometimes, the process stalls, and the app starts downloading more components than the total number listed.
Check the system
System specs
Multilogin doesn’t support older operating systems like:
- macOS versions before Sonoma 14
- Windows versions before 10
- Linux versions before Ubuntu 20
What to do:
Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements. You can quickly check the hardware and software specs in the article Will Multilogin X work on your device? Stay updated to avoid compatibility issues! 💻
Check the ISP
ISP
Sometimes, internet service providers (ISPs) block proxy providers or even Multilogin itself. Here’s how to test and work around it:
- Try connecting through a VPN: this can bypass ISP restrictions
- Switch networks: use a different Wi-Fi, or turn your phone into a hotspot with mobile data
- Check your speed: if your current ISP is slow, changing networks might also improve performance.
If the issue resolves with these steps, it’s likely your ISP causing the trouble.
Check 3rd-party apps
3rd-party apps
Apps like antivirus programs, firewalls, VPNs, or proxy tools (for example, Proxifier, SocksEscort) can interfere with Multilogin.
Here are some quick fixes:
- Uninstall these apps
- If you do need them, disable the apps temporarily or add Multilogin to their whitelist in the settings
This should help resolve the issue and keep everything running smoothly!
