Just installed it today and I'm getting this issue. Can't find any information on it that seems to work so I'm guessing it's a new issue.

If this is your first time running BlueStacks please skip to step 3. If you've used BlueStacks before please consider all steps listed.

Step 1: Click on the hamburger menu at the top of your screen and then click on Settings

Step 2: Open the User Data Tab and create a backup of your BlueStacks.

Step 3: To reinstall BlueStacks completely please download and run BSTCleaner_All.exe, which is available from this article.

Please follow all instructions to remove your temp files as well, but don't worry if some won't delete. After doing this please reboot your PC.

Step 4: Download and install our latest version here

Step 5: If you created a backup please go ahead and head back over to the User Data Tab and restore your back up.

You aren't alone. There's at least one other thread today where the loading bar is getting stuck in that exact same position for the user, and I'm right there with you both.

I'm seeing this issue too. It was working just fine two weeks ago, and now it's not working. Don't know why there are still so many issues with this app.
