Hey indraj436, sorry to hear about this.

Just to clarify, have you performed an advanced reinstall yet? 

Note that if you're on the Basic plan, there's a limit on the devices you can connect to your account. If you have more than 3, you'll need to remove any that are putting you over the limit and try to install the desktop app anew. 

Keep us posted!

Hi Walter

 

Yes, I have tried the advanced reinstall, but still facing the same problem.

I am on the basic plan but using only three devices.
