There are two software options available to customize and set up your Logitech gaming peripherals. Which are Logitech Gaming Software and Logitech G Hub. And, both are quite good and do the same things. Though, Logitech G Hub is a modern version and supports the latest Logitech peripherals. Also, it comes with Discord integrations, and, OBS integration for streaming. But, even after a year of its release, it is not stable. Many users are reporting that Logitech G Hub is stuck on the loading screen.
This means, whenever a user tries to open GHUB, it gets stuck on the spinning G logo loading animation. Well, if you’re also experiencing the same, no worries, we’re here to help. You will get to know a permanent solution to this issue.
Why is Logitech G Hub not loading?
Logitech G Hub is dependent on certain services related to it. And, when those services do not get administrator privileges to run in the background. Then, G Hub will get stuck on the loading animation. Because the software waits for those services to run. Mainly, if LGHub Updater Service is disabled due to any reason, then, G-Hub won’t load.

Enable LGHUB Updater Service. (Permanent Solution.)

You have to force the “LGHUB Updater Service” to automatically run whenever you start Windows. (Don’t jump directly to this solution, apply the first solution.)
1. Again do open Task Manager. Click on Startup.

That’s it Logitech G Hub, is not loading, the problem will now never occur again. You can test by restarting Windows.
Disable Logitech G HUB Automatic Updates.
I am assuming the problem is resolved now. To make sure the problem doesn’t occur again, you can disable auto-updates. Logitech G HUB is driver software, so when Windows boots it automatically runs in the background. And, sometimes, due to updates, it gets stuck on the loading window. So, it’s better to disable auto-updates, and, do update the App manually.
1. Open Logitech G HUB, and click on the G HUB Settings (gear) icon.
2. From the left-upper corner of the screen, click on the hamburger icon. After that, click on Settings.
3. Now, in the top-right corner, below the version information, you will see the “Enable Automatic Updates” option.
4. By default you”ll find it enabled. Uncheck it to disable it.
5. That’s it, now you have to manually check for updates. As you can see “check for update” option is integrated into the App. Or, If you want you can use the official site to download the latest version.
Re-Install Logitech G HUB.
Hopefully, Logitech G HUB not starting, the problem is resolved now for you. If still not, then Reinstall Software.
1. First, go to the control panel and uninstall the App. Or, you can Go to Windows 11 Settings (Press Windows + I) > Click on Apps >Installed Apps.
2. Now, Find on Logitech G HUB > Click on the “…” icon and click on Uninstall > Uninstall.
3. A software Window will appear and will ask for confirmation, click on Uninstall.
4. Click on Quit, once the software gets uninstalled.
5. You don’t need to delete any temporary data. Because uninstaller itself does that.
6. Now, download the latest version of Logitech G HUB from their official site. And, install it on your PC by running the downloaded “lghub_installer.exe” file.
7. After the successful installation of G HUB, follow all the above-mentioned solutions, else the issue can occur again.
Summing-up
