Logitech G HUB sometimes gets stuck during installation — the progress slider freezes and never finishes. This is usually caused by missing runtimes, leftover files, or permissions. This guide works through the fixes.
G HUB can get stuck on the installation screen.

Fix 2 — Run the Installer as Administrator
1. Close any running G HUB installer (via Task Manager if needed).
2. Right-click the G HUB setup file and choose Run as administrator.
3. Approve the UAC prompt and let it install.
Fix 3 — Enable Compatibility Mode

Warning: Download G HUB only from Logitech’s official website.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The slider still freezes.
Solution: Do a full clean install (remove LGHUB folders), install the VC++ and .NET prerequisites, and run setup as administrator.
Problem: Installer closes instantly.
Solution: End any lingering lghub processes in Task Manager, then run the setup again as administrator.
Problem: Antivirus blocks it.
Solution: Temporarily disable third-party antivirus or add G HUB as an exclusion, then install.
Problem: G HUB installs but does not detect devices.
Solution: Reconnect the device, restart the LGHUB service, and update Windows; reinstall if needed.
Conclusion
A stuck G HUB install is almost always missing runtimes, permissions, or leftovers. Install the VC++/.NET prerequisites, run the installer as administrator, and do a clean install — and G HUB will finish setting up.
