This means it fails to start the Specter daemon. Which Windows version are you using? Also, I'd suggest checking if restarting the computer helps.
Thank you for the prompt reply.
A restart of Windows doesn’t help. I’m on version 10.0.19042 of Windows.
I would request a better error message for this situation where specterd doesn’t start.
How should I debug what is going on with specterd?
You can try just downloading specterd instead on the Specter Desktop from the Github release page (here: https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/releases/download/v0.10.4/specterd-v0.10.4-win64.zip) try to run this and see what it writes in the console it will open (and share here).
Forever stuck on this (120+ secs)

Have you used Specter before? Can you try maybe with the pre-release? https://github.com/cryptoadvance/specter-desktop/releases/tag/v0.11.0-pre3
Yes, it was working with 0.10.1 but I was trying to also run it with Ledger which requires setting rpcuser and pwssword. I had issues with that so I gave up on that and I wanted to get it working again with specter so I have reverted that but now I can't get it working again.
In my attempts to run that version, I ctrl-C'd specterd and got the following information:
PS C:\Users\olofe\Documents> .\specterd.exe
Initializing HWI...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "specterd.py", line 2, in
v0.11.0-pre3 is the same:
PS C:\Users\olofe\Documents> .\specterd.exe
Initializing HWI...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "specterd.py", line 2, in
Is the Ledger connected to the computer while you're doing this? If yes try to first disconnect it please and retry.
Boom, that fixed it. Thank you.
Something needs to be fixed though.
Yes, so I'll keep the issue open. Can you just please share the Ledger firmware and BTC app version? (and if it's nano s or x?)
bitcoind 0.20.1,
Ledger Nano S, Secure Element version 1.6.1, Microcontroller 1.12, Bootloader 0.11, Ledger Nano S Bitcoin firmware 1.5.1
Some other information you need?
Thank you so much for your help.
Thanks, that should help solve it, will work on that, thanks! (Updating the title of the issue accordingly)
I had this same issue with Ledger Nano X. Launching Specter Desktop while the Ledger is plugged in causes Specter Desktop to hang on the startup pacman screen. Disconnecting the Ledger and restarting Specter Desktop solved the problem. Ledger Firmware Secure Element 1.2.4-1 / Microcontroller 2.8
Same for bitbox02, which then asks for the device password/PIN when Specter Desktop is starting up. Specter Desktop will continue after entering the password but there's no need to unlock the device at this stage.
Not easy to address and we've tried to fix this in #1748 but not yet fixed. This could be fixed in the electron-app, though. See my last comment there.
bitcoind is installed in default folder as per Windows install and server=1 is set.
0.10.1 also had this problem so installed latest version but it has same problem.
Googling gives no clue.
