Bug Description

What happened?

When I use Hoppscotch Desktop for a while, the entire app window suddenly turns into a completely white/blank screen.

There is no visible UI anymore (no sidebar, no tabs, no toolbar). The window stays white and the app becomes unusable until I close it and reopen Hoppscotch Desktop.

I do not see an error dialog, just the white screen.

(no explicit error dialog, only a white screen)


### Deployment Type

Self-hosted (on-prem deployment)

### Version

Version 25.12.0 (25.12.0)

So this is indeed a bug, and I hope the developers can fix it as soon as possible because it greatly affects the user experience.

Thanks for reporting this. There already is an tracking issue for this at #5716, please follow that issue for updates.

We've identified a potential cause for this which might have started in v25.11.0, where we changed how the store path is resolved.

A patch release will be issued for this soon.

In the meantime, you can downgrade to v25.10.1 to avoid the issue. See our downgrade guide for instructions on safely downgrading and restoring your data from automatic backups.

Previous releases are available at: releases repo.

Closing to keep discussion consolidated.
