I just Install Electrum in a desktop computer, I clean my computer and need to upgrade some of the parts, I just install the Electrum wallet on a computer and used my wallet to login using a file.

I login and it was successful but I wasn't able to connect to the server or sync. The circle of the bottom right was also red which means I wasn't connected.

It wasn't syncing even though I have a fast internet connection Any help? I can't send screenshots because it was I think block by the wallet.

If internet is not an issue, how about changing servers? That can be seen on Tools > Network you can check and uncheck servers and try if the Red circle indicator becomes Green.

Another way, click the circle icon in the bottom right corner (which is red in your case).
If "select network automatically" does not solve the problem, you can select it manually.

Just disable "prevent screenshots"

If nothing works:
Enable logging in "Tools->Preferences->Misc", restart Electrum and keep it open for a few seconds.
Then close it and share the log in <electrum datadir>/electrum/logs

For now, how's the public server list looks like?
Is it filled with just IP addresses without any domain names or "looks normal"?
Check the "Proxy" tab of network settings as well, in clearnet connection, it shouldn't be enabled.

What you most likely have on as a new installed Electtum wallet is proxy , check if Use proxy is enabled while setting up your wallet, turn it off if you don't  mind about privacy and restart your wallet ( although it should automatically connect to a server after without restarting unless you  also have manual server selection turned on) or set it up properly intead.

If you want to Enable logs, follow what nc50lc wrote and "check mark " write logs to file .

Didn't work I click the red circle, to change the network, I also make some google searches.. It seems like it wasn't just working Im already on auto-connect servers but it wasn't finding any servers.

My transactions also was not sync fully there are some transactions but this wasn't for sure my latest ones.

yeah I figured this one out, Im trying different servers im trying to click everything if anything is going to work, and it seems like you could select it if you do the right click.

It does react to it changes the one on the Server: Text field, so I think it was working but I still can't see my balance and the circle is still red.

Take note that the later versions of Electrum will ask the user if he wants to enable proxy during Electrum's first time setup.
I've asked OP because he might have ticked it accidentally or ticked it without knowing its function.

You successfully selected that server but your network still can't connect to it.

Consider checking the logs to see what's happening under the hood.

I think this was something to do with this because I just install the Electrum wallet and it make me select server, something like selecting proxy or the Electrum server and didn't know what to pick and im not familiar with it, I dont remember picking one when I first install it on my other devices so I didn't pick I got lazy and close it, and do other stuff. After that when I open the electrum wallet again to try it, It didn't appear anymore it go straight to the wallet after I used the file for my wallet.

But the issue was it was red, and it wasn't connecting to the server automatically, maybe it wasn't set up correctly im going to try other stuff later to see if I'll be able to make it work.

Check the "Proxy" tab of network settings as well, in clearnet connection, it shouldn't be enabled.
It may be worth mentioning that you can tell whether you have a proxy enabled in Electrum without going to the "Proxy" tab.
If a proxy is enabled, Electrum indicates that at the bottom of the window.

Yeah.
What I'm actually trying to pass there is that OP turned it on while setting up the wallet  because it ask to enable proxy  instantly  the app launched before proceeding to importing an existing wallet.


But the issue was it was red, and it wasn't connecting to the server automatically, maybe it wasn't set up correctly im going to try other stuff later to see if I'll be able to make it work.
Did you see the image above from hosemary? Check and confirm proxy is not turned on ( I don't know why you keep ignoring it despite other methods aren't working  Roll Eyes) else paste the log here as directed earlier .
It shouldn't be this  hard .
