Lédger® Live Not Loading — Troubleshooting Guide
Lédger® Live Not Loading — Troubleshooting Guide
When Lédger® Live is not loading, the problem can be caused by an outdated application, temporary service disruption, network problems, device compatibility, or a corrupted installation. Ledger now refers to its application as Ledger Wallet, formerly Ledger Live, and provides official desktop and mobile downloads through its website.
Begin with the simplest checks. Confirm that your computer or smartphone has a stable internet connection. Try opening another trusted website to determine whether the problem is limited to the Ledger application. If your connection is unstable, restart your router or switch temporarily to another reliable network.
Sometimes the application can experience problems because a particular Ledger service or blockchain network is experiencing an incident. Ledger maintains an official status page where users can check current service conditions. Recent status information has included incidents involving application launch and latency, demonstrating why checking the service page can be useful before reinstalling the software.
Completely close Lédger® Live and reopen it. If the application remains stuck on a loading screen, restart your computer or mobile device. This can clear temporary background processes and connection issues that prevent the application from starting correctly.
An outdated or damaged installation may cause unexpected startup problems. Visit Ledger's official download page and compare your installed application with the current version available for your operating system. Ledger provides official versions for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
If reinstalling becomes necessary, download the software directly from Ledger's official website. Avoid third-party download pages, unofficial mirrors, advertisements, and links received through unsolicited messages.
If the application opens but does not recognize your hardware wallet, check the USB connection, cable, device battery where applicable, and whether the device is unlocked. Follow the instructions displayed on the Ledger device and within the official application.
Do not attempt to resolve a loading problem by entering your Secret Recovery Phrase into a website or application. Your recovery phrase should remain private and offline.
A website claiming that you must enter your recovery phrase to fix Ledger Live, synchronize an account, unlock a wallet, or repair a connection should be treated as suspicious. Legitimate troubleshooting should not require disclosure of your complete Secret Recovery Phrase, PIN, or private keys.

If Lédger® Live is not loading, troubleshoot the application, device, internet connection, and official service status before taking further action. Download software only from Ledger's verified resources and never disclose your Secret Recovery Phrase to anyone. If a supposed support page asks for your recovery phrase, stop immediately and verify the website through Ledger's official channels.
