The windows wallet is a nightmare. Is anyone working on this?

It's working fine for me

Version 1.1.5.1 is failing.
previous version 1.1.0.4 was ok/

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't work. I must truggle with the wallet every time I reopen it.

At me too constant problemmy with synchronization of a purse. have to reset the purse completely several times a day, tired already. Although before everything worked without problems. Sorry for bad English

I am using BitcoinZ Wallet 1.1.0_1.2. I got an error similar to this. Here's how I fixed it:

1. Close the Wallet.
2. Open a Windows Command Prompt in Administrator mode.
3. Type in at the prompt> netsh winsock reset
4. Wait for the message stating success - this includes that the computer must be restarted.
5. Close the command prompt.
6. Shut down (turn off) the computer.
7. Turn on the computer.
8. Open Bitcoin Z Wallet.

This worked for me.

Something is getting corrupted with the sockets - they are not getting reset or disconnected in the correct sequence. It has been more than 10 years since I programmed Java opening and closing sockets in the correct sequence.

Hope this helps.

Dont use that wallet. Download the latest windows wallet and reindex it for the last time. Join slack/discord for help.
