Could not send request Error: Request timed out

I had the same issue but standard troubleshooting (restarts, reinstalls, firewall changes) didn’t fix it. What worked for me was installing an older version after completely uninstalling the current version.

  1. Thorough Uninstall: Uninstall Postman and delete leftover files from:
  • C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Roaming
  • C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Local\Postman
  1. Install Older Version
  2. Disable Auto-Updates: Updating to the latest version brought the problem back.

I used 9.1.5(yes very old) but does the job for me currently, trying a slightly newer, but still older than the latest, version might be worth it. This workaround should help others until Postman releases a fix.
