I am running a Next.js app with the command npm run dev, but the development server just hangs without any errors. The terminal output shows only:

and then stays stuck. The server never starts fully (no localhost URL is shown) and there are no error messages.

Environment:

Node.js version: v22.11.0

npm version: 11.5.1

Next.js version: 15.4.5

React and ReactDOM version: 19.1.0

I need help , I have tried deleting node modules , cleaning cache still I am stuck with this issue

I had this same issue when i ran two next servers at the same time.
One was using port 3000, and the other was supposed to use 3001, but for some reason, it just froze.
Sometimes, it'll show compiling and just freeze.

what's the solution??

Twas weird.
I ended up killing the first server, and ran the other next server on a new instance of my terminal.
And it worked.

How to do that
because it is working fine is production
but in developer mode it keeps showing me that
I haven't worked on any next app before
It is my first time learning next

Try opening the folder in command prompt.
Then run the command again.
It could be a vs code bug

I will let you know once I do that
but I have literally tried everything
installed the latest node version
deleting node moduled
creating next app again and again
@Blue swimming crab I will let you know once I do that

This is weird.
Create a new separate next project and try to run it.
Let's see if the issue is from the project or something else.

You want me to create in new directory or at the same location
As I have tried creating new next projects at the same location

Do they run successfully
Blue swimming crabOP
What do you mean by run?
When I do npx create-next-app@latest there are no errors

Create a new next project somewhere else using this command.
And then run it with npm run dev.

Okay, so it's not an issue with the project.
Try restarting ur laptop.

restarting doesn't work

Maybe try using Node.js v20?

I would try using WSL instead. It’s known that nextjs has had issues running on windows
Blue swimming crabOP
what's WSL?
linux?
