# \[Loader] Loader Does Not Open / Nothing Happens

If the loader isn’t opening at all when you try to run it, here are the most likely causes:

***

#### 1. Antivirus Is Corrupting or Blocking the File

This is the **most common reason**. Some antivirus software (including Windows Defender) will silently **block or corrupt** the loader before it even launches.

> &#x20;Disable your antivirus completely before running the loader.

***

#### &#x20;2. Missing Dependencies

If required system dependencies are missing, the loader may fail to start.

> Refer to the **Overview** and **Dependencies** sections to make sure everything is installed correctly.

***

#### &#x20;3. Your ISP Might Be Blocking Access (Rare)

In rare cases, your internet service provider may block connections to our infrastructure.

> &#x20;Use a **VPN** if you suspect your ISP is interfering. This can restore access immediately.
