    Hi Megan,

Hey HerbalTea, thanks for the heads up! 

 

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with our desktop app on your computer. Have you already tried performing an advanced reinstall?

 

If the issue persists, you can try creating a new OS profile and installing the app there as a test.
