Hi,
Thank you of the report and I am very sorry about the issue!
This is very strange to me, I have never come across this issue before. Usually, the process should get stuck regardless of signing in or not. And it even happens on your 2 machines!
I'm wondering if there is any common setup between your laptop and desktop? Like is there any firewall/antivirus/network management software installed? Furthermore, you mentioned that it did not happen before, only after "the new update". Is that an OS update or Archicad update?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,
Minh
