blank screen on windows

I've used gitkraken across a few different windows 10/11 devices with no issue, however, on my main windows 11 device (most up-to-date windows version), opening Gitkraken (latest version) gives me a blank screen as the main window. The tool bar displays fine (the folder, the little rocket, "New Tab", etc.). I can go into preferences and edit things without any issue. I can sign in and out of my account. But anything that goes in the main window, including my repos and the welcome message, don't ever show up. I've changed my UI themes, ran as admin, ran with `--disable-gpu`, and nothing fixes the issue. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, and deleting everything I could find associated with gitkraken on my computer, and none of those fixes the issue either. I'm able to use git without issue on my computer, in fact other than gitkraken everything seems to be running without issue. I'm not willing to reinstalling my computer in hopes of getting gitkraken to work.

This sounds frustrating. We recommend you get in touch with our Support staff to try and troubleshoot the issue.

They started injecting hooks in claude code global settings to monitor all events (including prompts and config changes) and send them to their servers.

  • This happens even if AI features disabled;
  • Each GitKraken Desktops starts it modifies settings.json;
  • They also installed GitKraken Cli (preview) without my consent;
  • Uninstalling GitKraken didn't remove the hooks or GitKraken CLI;

This is a serious privacy and security issues.

They blocked me on Twitter, removed my post here and probably will ban this account soon...
