Grok Bot

Describe the Bug

Different class of issue than the past 5 days, but my bots are now not responding again all the same as some computer update on the bots end has rendered them completely useless for several hours as the update seems stuck, exiting does nothing, resetting is impossible, not sure what to do.

Steps to Reproduce

Try talking

Expected Behavior

talk back, update finishes

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Version Information

newest version

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

I tried a Reset of my Grok Bot Computer and it’s been 2-3 hours now it’s stuck at Transferring your data.

Tbh I only had a few small CSVs so…

I tried uninstalling the app, signing out, nothing works.

Can anyone point me in the right direction if it happened to you as well?

This is quite frustrating I was in the middle of some urgent work.

I’m having the same problem, it just started updating Groks computer and it’s stuck on 43%

same issue here

just after i posted this it stopped and went into recovery mode and seems to have reset and recovered

lucky you, mine didnt work with Recovery. still stuck :frowning:

Can you help me unstick my grok bot? It stopped responding to me on mobile and desktop so I tried to update computer and now it’s stuck at 43% and won’t cancel. I’d like to preserve my data if at all possible, I’ve been using it to ingest quite a bit of info for me.

Resolved — Recover completed. Computer is connected and bots/files are fine.
Please do not reset or recreate the Agent Computer.
Thanks, this can be closed.

I’ve run into the same issue here. How did you resolve it?

Additional details for Cursor support: this is still unresolved on my account as of September 20, 2026.

  • Grok Bot desktop version: 0.57.1
  • OS: macOS 26.6.2 (25G83)
  • The computer update remains at 43%, on ‘Transferring your data’ (Chinese UI: 正在转移你的数据).
  • ‘Getting ready’, ‘Backing up your data’, and ‘Recreating Grok Bot’s computer’ are marked complete. Starting the computer, cleanup, and reconnecting have not started.
  • The update dialog only offers ‘Continue in Background’; no Recover button or error message is visible there.
  • Chat messages remain queued as ‘Waiting to send’, so I cannot continue using the bot normally.

Could the team check whether the cloud-computer migration is still progressing or has stalled, and advise the safest recovery path that preserves bots, files, and logins? I understand the original poster has recovered, but my computer is still stuck. I am avoiding a second Update or Reset while the current operation is running, as recommended in the recovery documentation.

@Colin

How did you resolve this??

FWIW I was having this same issue. I sent a support ticket in and got a response pretty immediately that this is a known issue. Within a few min the computer went into an “update failed” state, which then allowed me to recover and now I’m back in business.

Expected Behavior

The update is supposed to finish, but it looks like it’s just spinning the wheel at 43%

Hi all,

Thanks for the reports. We’re aware of an issue where some Grok Bot Computers are failing to fully rehydrate during recreation. Most boxes appear to be coming up on their own eventually, so please check your Grok Bots again. In the meantime, we’re actively investigating and will share an update as soon as we have more information.

Thanks, it seems to have sorted itself out, I was able to restore and things are back to normal.
