# How to fix Windows Powershell issue for Dr. Sprinto

Encountering errors running the Dr. Sprinto app is a rare sight, but if you encounter one, you can follow the steps below for the workaround. Windows machines are highly configurable; sometimes, these configurations can block the Windows Powershell command; the Dr. Sprinto app runs in the background to fetch the computer configuration.

In a few devices, you could encounter an issue: Dr. Sprinto doesn’t get loaded and ends up with a spinning wheel on the loading screen.

1. **Confirming the Windows Powershell issue.**
   1. From the Windows taskbar, navigate to the installed Dr. Sprinto app icon.
