Need Help! My Electrum Wallet Won't Sync

My Electrum wallet is stuck syncing. I restarted my PC, updated the software, even reinstalled it but still no luck. Anyone else had this problem? What did you do? Need some serious help here.

You on Electrum? That should sync in seconds unless your wallet has tons of addresses. Check the bottom right corner for a red or green dot. If it's red, click it and try connecting to a different server.

I mean, why didn't you mention the wallet name earlier? Just saying. Anyway, check your internet first. Make sure you’re connecting to the right server. Maybe try the automatic server selection. And if you’re using a proxy, disable it.

Have you tried picking a server manually? Click on that circle in the bottom left, uncheck auto-select, and choose a server from the list. If it still fails, maybe something on your PC is blocking the connection, like antivirus software. Consider changing your DNS too.

Honestly, I hardly ever have syncing issues with Electrum. It's usually my internet or router acting up. After you launch the wallet, check how many nodes you're connected to. If it’s under 8, it might not sync properly.

Wait, so how does connecting to nodes work? It connects to just one active server, right? But if you set it to auto, it picks randomly from available ones. Is that right?

Thanks, everyone! I switched to a different server manually and now it’s syncing perfectly. My balance updated, and I’m good to go. Locking this thread now, appreciate the help!
