And oldie but a goodie? 2025.2 Gray Screen is Back?

Ever since we went live with 2025.2.12 we are seeing very persistent case of the old hung / not quite rendered Active Home Page (as shown below)

Anyone else seeing this? It is quite hard to get it to come off even clearing the cache doesn’t seem to always do it.

I haven’t had it, no, but it does take a long time for the menu to load pretty much every time. Where you can’t navigate the menu structure till it’s done loading.

Looking forward to hearing more about anything you find here.

Do you see this issue with both the client and browser?

Only the client so far. It appears to be tied to EssentialObjects. I just went through a fix I had to kill all instances of EO, Clear the AppData cache for Epicor and then it worked.

This is what we have to do. I created a script that we can run from our management platform to do it remotely when someone has the issue.

FWIW Here’s the Batch script we just wrote note this will have to be updated depending on where you keep your Epicor cache. We use an Alternate Cache path cause we like to know where Epicor hides its treasure

taskkill /f /im Kinetic.exe
taskkill /f /im Epicor.exe
taskkill /f /im EpiEOBrowser.exe
rmdir /Q /S c:\users\%username%\appdata\local\epicor\
rmdir /Q /S c:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming\epicor\
rmdir /Q /S c:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming\Kinetic2023\
rmdir /Q /S c:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming\Kinetic2024\
rmdir /Q /S c:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming\Kinetic2025\
rmdir /Q /S C:\ProgramData\epicor\

That’s pretty much exactly what our script does. Kill the three tasks first and then clean everything up.

We are on the same version and don’t have this issue but we are using the web version only.

did you enable dev tools to see what is in the log when it happens?

I haven’t yet, but the next time we run into one I will.

Normally only see the slow load menu after a recycle

I got it yesterday in the client. Right clicked and clicked Reload.

And it came up.

A couple of us started having this happen after they switched anti-virus software to MS Defender. It happens to me fairly often, but I just close it and reopen it, which fixes it every time so far. My coworker has to kill off the task all the time, as you all indicated above. We are on an older version of Kinetic.

This has been happening more frequently for me since we applied Update 13 to 2025.2.

My current workaround has basically been to close the window and reopen it repeatedly until it decides to behave—usually by the third or fourth attempt. However, next time it happens, I plan to go straight to clearing the cache and see if that resolves it.

That said, I’ve already cleared my cache at least 40 times this week while troubleshooting other issues. At this point, if I find out something is consistently writing bad cache data, I’m not sure I’ll be able to let that go. That feels like the kind of thing that would quietly follow me into the weekend until I finally dig into it—if for no other reason than pure annoyance. :upside_down_face:

Nevertheless, Jose’s batch script did help you resolve the issue tonight. :partying_face: :tada:

We never really had an issue until 2025.2.10+

I have only had this issue on the web version so far. I will monitor it to see if it starts to happen more often.

It has been especially bad on 2025.2. On 2025.1 it was pretty settled out. I find a lot of times if I threaten it with going back to classic it works. I will launch, close, launch close, launch close, nothing still blank. I hold ALT to get the preferences dialog and often times it will then load. For some reason that kicks it in the pants.
