Hello! Please follow this instruction, but replace directory paths with your own (on disk `D:`): > [@Daedalus wallet not launching after upgradre](https://forum.cardano.org/t/daedalus-wallet-not-launching-after-upgradre/12501/2): > > Hi! You might have to reinstall the wallet from scratch then (only if you have your 12 secret words available). Uninstall it using "C:\Program Files\Daedalus\uninstaller.exe" Delete directory "%appdata%\Daedalus" completely Download latest version from [daedaluswallet.io](http://daedaluswallet.io) Install and restore your wallet from the 12 secret words Sometimes rarely update may come in conflict with the local state of the wallet. Installing it from scratch is the cleanest and safest option. ---

I had the same problem ,after update of Windows 10 i clean it all and make a new with 12 word seed and later put new password . syncing blocks take me 12 hours and another 5-6 hours to reinstall old wallet,so be patient,but after all that hustle the new one was set to go (with previous funds inside ,of course) ! ---

> [@gladi](#): > > and another 5-6 hours to reinstall old wallet This of course depends on the internet connection, but I got my wallet restored in 40 minutes in the new version 🙂 In previous versions it usually took around 3-4 hours on my laptop. Anyways, glad to here it worked for you! 👍 ---

The OP dates back 11 months, a great deal has changed in that time. Also, that error message suggests a Windows or iTunes problem, you’d be much better off asking in a relevant forum. Good luck! ---
