This computer doesn’t have IE so I don’t know what to do. I only ever have a limited time to ride not install updates. This is ridiculous.
What should I do?
You’re not wrong, but I think it’s overly confusing directing people to do it via the browser at all. Clearing Internet Options does the right job in Windows with fewer steps and no confusion over whether you need to clear data in IE/Edge/Chrome/Firefox etc. Not aimed at you, Zwift’s own support page is like this too.

Assuming you are on Windows, I believe this will resolve it:

This workaround by Dave_Garret fixed the problem on my Mac:
(links forbidden in the forum, but Dave posted his workaround on April 15th in this thread)
- disconnect your Mac from the Internet (wired/wifi)
- start Zwift
- wait for the dialogue box to pop up
- reconnect your Mac to the internet
- press “yes” in the dialogue and you’ll be presented with a new user/password screen.
Hope this works for you too…

clear internet options and cookies in on internet explorer. did not work for me when clearing on edge
Same here on Windows…cant run…cleared, reinstalled…hope there will be some credit for downtime!
Thank you @Dave_ZPCMR . I rode with a YouTube video this morning. My 6 am brain wasn’t up for remembering how to get to Internet Options. I just tried it on the laptop I use for this and clearing it all seemed to work.
I get a lot of notifications from Zwift during the day, why couldn’t “our set up stinks, please do this before you ride…” be one of them.
My interaction with the app is 10 min before go time…it’s not a lifestyle. Ok, some days it is.

Hi all ,
Here’s a workaround that i’ve found on reddit and worked for me and many other Mac users (can’t tell if it’ll work on Windows but i’d love to know):
- Close the ZWIFT app.
- Turn off wifi.
- Start ZWIFT app.
- When prompted wether to try and start ZWIFT anyway - reconnect wifi first, then select YES.
Ride On !

It’s working, thx for sharing
Same issue here. The tricks don’t seem to work on windows 10.
Uups, I complained too early.
One trick finally worked on windows 10:
Start > Intermet Options > Browsing history > Delete

That’s worked for me too.
This worked for me. Thanks for the help! A very non-intuitive solution.
+1 for this problem on MacOS. Even though the workaround works it’s very frustrating!!
