I think I’ve found the solution! I had to move Zwift to an external drive and than Launch it from there. (I had this issue on a bootcamped Mac)

The steps I followed:

  1. Open Task Manager and end the process “Zwift Launcher (32 bit)” - mine was usually near the bottom
  2. Plug in your external drive and move the whole “Zwift” folder from “Program Files (x86)” to your drive
  3. Delete the files on your computer drive - you won’t need them anymore
  4. On your external drive navigate to “Zwift” and open “ZwiftLauncher” and it should work now.
  5. I also created a shortcut to ZwiftLauncher on my desktop but that’s optional.

Hope it helps!
