WARP (1.1.1.1) GUI completely disappears after disconnecting - Windows 10/11

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a very strange bug with the Cloudflare WARP (1.1.1.1) client. Whenever I toggle the VPN off (disconnect), the entire application seems to vanish from my system.

The icon disappears from the system tray, and the process stops completely. I can't even find the app in the Start menu to restart it. The only way to get it back is to run the installer again, select "Remove" to clean it out, and then do a fresh reinstall. Once reinstalled, it works fine until the next time I turn it off.

I need to disable the VPN frequently for my video editing workflow, but having to remove and reinstall the app every single time is driving me crazy.

  • OS: Windows (latest build)
  • Version: Latest WARP client

Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to keep the app from deleting itself or vanishing when disconnected?

Thanks!

The icon disappears from the system tray, and the process stops. I can't find the app in the Start menu to restart it. The only way to get it back is to run the installer again and select "Repair." Once the repair is finished, it works fine until the next time I turn it off.

Has anyone else encountered this "vanishing act"? Is there a way to keep the GUI active in the tray even when disconnected?
