I tried reinstalling several times, but no luck…

Could you please help by checking this logfile excerpt?

after that, it just pretends to continue to start loading, but nothing happens and i have to close.
No other process is using this port 8000 btw…

I tried portable version, same error:

Although I’m not sure, I think the error appears because the system detects that the server is busy. Close all windows, clear the cache, and restart ComfyUI in the terminal. Then, Ctrl + left-click on http://127.0.0.1:8000. I hope this helps.

Does no one else have this pesky “Accept failed on a socket“ error or have a tipp about how to get rid of it, ideally without starting a complete fresh windows installation :stuck_out_tongue:
Weeks without comfyui are turning my life sad!
