Meteor has stopped working on my Windows 10 system

Hi my Meteor installation has suddenly stopped working.

Existing project won’t run, can’t create new projects and can’t even use meteor update.
Everything was working fine on previous day and then nothing was working the next. I may have updated Meteor, the message to update came up on the console but can’t be certain I actually updated, but if this is the issue how do I install the previous version on windows as the exe installation file always installs the latest version!!
I have tried reinstalling Meteor and Node with no effect and looked to see if anyone else has got/had the same problem but have come up blank.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Nigel

I can’t continue with Meteor unless I find a solution

I don’t get any messages, but Meteor suddenly stopped working after a reboot this morning. Uggh, if my employer just would fully support Linux I wouldn’t ever have to face this problem.

I believe I did a meteor update shortly before or it said it was downloading the update in the background.

I have started running meteor from checkout and it seems to work. Nothing else worked in Windows 10 for me.

I am facing the same issue, anybody got any solution.

Still can’t get it to work on Windows. Tried installing different older versions but always fails on installing the relevant meteor-tools.

I have had to install Ubuntu on a virtual system and install meteor on there where it works perfectly. However I don’t know if I will continue to use Meteor if this is the type of issues I am likely to have in the future. Its quite ridiculous really that this has not yet been sorted.

I also have hit a problem with Meteor suddenly stopping working on Windows 10. It seems to affect all meteor apps on my machine. When I run under Webstorm I see the following output in the console:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘DDP’ of undefined
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘DDP’ of undefined
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘AllowDeny’ of undefined
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘DDP’ of undefined
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘DDP’ of undefined
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘Mongo’ of undefined
Uncaught ReferenceError: meteorInstall is not defined

I’ve tried uninstalling Meteor and reinstalling (1.3.4.1) but the same response. At the moment Meteor is completely broken.

Does anyone from MDG have any advice on how to get this working again?

Thanks in advance.

Do yourself a favor. Clone the repo, checkout release 1.3.2.4. Party on. It seems that it is not an MDG priority for releases to work with Windows prior to them being released. I’ve had ZERO trouble on my Linux machines and nothing but trouble on my Windows machines since 1.3 dropped. 1.2 worked with no notable differences on both Linux and Windows.

Thank you for the advice. As you indicate, it would appear that the Windows version is still too unstable at this stage. That is a real shame, but I appreciate other core platforms taking precedence.

I used Windows 10 at the office and so far is working well… i hope does not happen to me
