Hi Ivan. I have done that, and while I do not see the same error any more, it still doesn’t open.

i still get ‘timeout’ trying to open it. if I then type “pio home” from the terminal, nothing happens. no error either.
but when launching VSCode, or clicking the Home icon at the bottom, it takes a while then gives a timeout :frowning:

It’s working now. Seemed to be a problem with my separate Python installation in Windows.
