Hey all, I was I/O testing today and closed my laptop lid when I was done. I reopened it because we wanted to test one more thing. It wouldn't load so I shut down and rebooted. Now, when I try to launch my designer or localhost, it can't connect. I'm scared I just lost all of my completed work over the last several months. Any tips? I should also note, I CAN connect to a second server we have, just not the one where all of my data is. ![ignitionissue](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/3/132991bb43e2702401670a4d854d72b2da89eaf4.png) I did some more digging and got into the wrapper log which tells me this. Can't say I really understand any of it: STATUS | wrapper | 2025/06/19 13:24:28 | Launching a JVM... INFO | jvm 1 | 2025/06/19 13:24:29 | WrapperManager: Initializing...

It could be that you need to reboot, or it could be other software you have installed. `netstat -ab` as Administrator might show you what process is bound to that port. ---

Do you know if there's a way to change the gateway port without affecting anything? I'm struggling to find what other software is using 8088.
