Bambu Studio is now broken after update

The Home tab on Bambu Studio is now blank after the latest update this morning!

what version of BS and on what computer (i.e. windows, apple, linux or…)

2.4.0.70 on a Windows 11 Pro PC. It was working fine early this morning making Lightboxes, after the update the Home screen doesn’t load, just blank.

win 10 on i5-6500 all updated and working.
i saw win 11 machines asking for being rebooted after an OS update of today, maybe try a fresh reboot

I’m having a similar, but separate issue with the new update. It’s asking me to reconnect to my machines, but can’t find them. When I click on the device tab, it just shows me an Octoprint screen that I have never seen before.

Make sure you have a printer selected on the Prepare tab before going over to devices.

Problem is my printers disappeared and it wants me to go through OctoPrint, never had to do that. And don’t know Hostname/IP stuff. Never had to do this before. trying to upload pics of it. But where yours says H2D, and plate type, mine now says Untitled.

Click that area that shows mine with the H2D and you will be provided with a drop down menu where you can select your printer. Once you select a Bambu printer, the Devices tab will show like normal.

You aren’t experiencing this bug, I’m not sure why you’re ignoring the bug that @evocomic is pretty explicitly describing. I have a similar issue. I just updated to 2.4.0.70 on Windows 11 and BS’s Setup Wizard appears every time I open the program. Once I go through the wizard, I navigate to the ‘Prepare’ tab and the UI appears to be in some kind of blank/default state.

None of my previously set-up printers, filaments, or print settings appear. If I try to select a printer, the dropdown is empty.

If I select that blank entry from the dropdown, a dialog opens that is simply blank. If I press ‘OK’ the program crashes (this has happened every time I’ve tried).

Welp glad to know you know more about my experiences than I do. I really like ignoring peoples request for help and giving them wrong information instead. You sure got me.

I can confirm I’ve had this happen on Win 11 and rebooting seemed to fix everything for me too

Bonus info: If you have Nord VPN app active, its anti malware is not liked by orca slicer, freezes at loading. bambu studio and anycubic slicer next are immune to this… for now…
