First attempt at trying to get help w/ this issue before Umbrel blew me off in March:

I can’t open a channel or do anything from the Lightning Node page, I always need to go to another app like RTL or something which works without issues. I’m on the latest software and just upgraded to the Umbrel Home from my Pi4 setup, thinking perhaps it was hardware related. I still have the same issue where I essentially cannot use my Lightning Node app…

Second attempt in July:

Kind of embarrassing that I can post this big of an issue in March and still not get responses from Umbrel as to what could be causing this issue w/ my Lightning Node: [Lightning Node - Page Unresponsive](https://community.umbrel.com/t/lightning-node-page-unresponsive/15523) My Lightning Node page fails to fully load until I get a browser error saying page unresponsive, asking me if I would like to wait or close.

I’ve been a user since 2021. I’m at a loss and just really bummed that I have to shut down my node after 3 years because I cannot get any help in resolving my issue. I cannot open my Lightning Node app - It says page unresponsive and then crashes my node every time I try. I’ve shared logs, sent follow ups, etc. without any luck in resolving. I can access RTL to close channels and remove funds, which is what I have been doing. It is just really frustrating coming from a Pi to a Umbrel Home user and still the same issue.
