Garmin express blank screen


The Garmin Express application on Windows and Mac can sometimes display a blank screen when trying to sign in or sync with a Garmin account. This issue has been reported by several users across different versions of Garmin Express and operating systems.

Some common causes and potential solutions include:

Signing In- When clicking the 'Sign in' button in Garmin Express, a blank window opens stating 'Garmin Connect' but remains blank[1][2].
- This prevents users from being able to input their login credentials.
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Garmin Express, running as administrator, and rebooting the computer between steps does not resolve the issue[1].

Initial Sync- After the initial sync, when prompted to log in, the sign-in screen/pop-up is blank (white) and the user cannot input any information[3].

Blank Screen After Update (Mac)- On a Mac running Big Sur 11.5.2, Garmin Express started displaying a blank white screen after an update, which was a change from the previous week[4].

To troubleshoot, users can try:
- Clearing the Garmin Express cache by navigating to %localappdata% and deleting the Garmin_Ltd folder[5].
- Updating to the latest version of Garmin Express.
- Trying to sign in using a web browser to see if the issue is specific to the Garmin Express application.

If the blank screen persists, contacting Garmin support for further assistance may be necessary.
