I’m using Figma on Windows 11. The desktop app keeps disappearing every now and then.
Kindly tell me how I can resolve this problem.

Hey there, sorry to hear this is happening!
Can you please try clearing your desktop app’s cache to see if it helps?
Here’s how to clear the desktop app cache on Windows:
- Be sure to close/exit the Figma desktop app
- Open the Start menu, and paste in this: %APPDATA%\Figma
- Press enter
- In the window that opens, delete the Desktop and DesktopProfile folders if they exist
- Restart
- Try launch the desktop app again
If this doesn’t help, please try reinstalling the desktop app:

Desktop icon always disappear after an app update. Kinda annoying, but not a big problem.
