All of sudden this is happening to me now. Windows 11, Postman version 11.68.4.

I constantly have to restart Postman because Send does nothing and Cancel doesn’t work.

> 
> We need to restart Postman to resolve this issue.
> First, we hit the POST API. The blue "Send" button changes to "Cancel," but it gets stuck there.

> \### Steps To Reproduce
> 
> 1) Write a POST API for login or something similar.
> 
> 2) Hit the "Send" button.
> 
> 3) Sometimes it gets stuck there — no response comes back, and it's not possible to cancel the request either.

Hello @danny-dainton @jcsacto

Glad to see this post. I am also seeing this issue when sending a request and no response is returned. The Cancel button shows enabled however it has no action when selected. It is happening in both Desktop and the browser version. It appears intermittent and noticable only after the recent AWS outages were resolved. Closing the window and restarting clears the issue for a while. I am also on Windows. I saw it happen again after this morning’s Postman update to version 11.68.5 between 8:00am - 8:40am EST. Another colleague also mentioned he is having the same issues.

Yes please. 🙏

I’ve moved everything into this new topic as the other topic was 5 years old with a different context.
