My Win7 PC was shut down through a tripped RCD. After powering it up again everything looks normal. just Bisq does not start. In the taskmanager is no application, but a process. No Window, nothing on the taskbar. When i run it as administrator, it starts normally for a user using it the first time. I started the installer and let it do a repair, but no difference. What else can i do? ---

Naturally, something in the data directory went corrupt. Best case scenario, it is something not vital so you can restore to a working state. I will be preparing a guide to this shortly as it is something that comes up quite often, and will link the wiki article in here when I’m done. ---

first of all sorry for the delay, on second thought, before following this procedure, please try deleting everything inside the `tor`folder of your [data directory](https://bisq.wiki/Data_directory#Default_locations) EXCEPT the `hiddenservice` folder which must stay there. Let me know how this goes, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll still write that article I was talking about ---

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it, but could not notice any difference. Still just a process in the task manager and nothing else. ---

After much delay I finally got around to writing the aforementioned guide: [Last resort restore - Bisq Wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Last_resort_restore) Please let me know how that goes! ---

Took some time. Maybe it is not necessary to wait until the blockchain is synced etc., but i waited until the fresh instance is done with everything. Now it works again. The only not so nice thing is that a offer was taken and i did not know about it… But now everything seems to be as it was. Thank you very much! ---

so you are confirming the method works? What about the offer bein taken without you knowing about it, can you explain so I can understand better? ---

Yes, i confirm that the method worked for me. I had an open offer for buying BTC, which someone took in between. I therefore could not know about and pay it. ---

so you now have a locked deposit that you don’t have access to anymore? ---

The trade partner opened a support ticket because i did not pay, which was unavoidable, not knowing about the trade. But now everything is fine.
