Update V2.103 is faulty. It aborts with error message No. 5 and completely deletes the previous version of LightBurn from the computer. I have reinstalled version V2.102 so that I can continue working.
I am running v2.1.03 on 3 different laptops withour any problems like this.
- Alarm 5 says a command was issued for a function that is turned off. The most likely culprit is that you have Auto-Home on Startup turned on in the Basic Settings tab, but GRBL parameter $22 is set to zero.
- “completely deletes the previous version of LightBurn from the computer” is not possible to occur because of a GRBL alarm condition.
- Reinstall v2.1.03 and load a previous .lbprefs file from backup to sync the new version with the old.
- If you still get the Alarm 5, enter $22=1 in the Console window and click on the Home button to confirm it was accepted.
If you still have issues, come back and explain in detail.
Thank you very much for your help. Everything is back to normal now.

When updating LightBurn on Windows 11, “AutoPlay” must be turned off. See the button in the attached image. Please check this setting before performing the update.
You shouldn’t see Error 5 anymore.
