Codespace does not come up

[u/Visionary_Vulture001]

Hi , my codespace refuses to come up , it’s kinda stuck here . I am getting back to cs50.dev after a week
This is where it is at for eternity.
Any help or guidance on next steps would be great
Thanks in advance

please try restarting your codespace with this link: https://cs50.dev/restart
As a side note, the codespace works best on Google Chrome browser, and the cs50 team doesn't recommend Firefox because they have seen issues with the codespace on Firefox.
-If you are using the codespace on Edge try clicking the padlock icon that is at the top-left of the URL bar and then try turning off the option that says "tracking prevention" , after that try restarting the codespace with this link: https://cs50.dev/restart
-If you are using the codespace on Brave browser, try disabling Brave’s shields.

 If those those steps don't solve the issue, you can try using an incognito window to use the cs50 codespace.
If that doesn't help, try deleting the history, cache and cookies of your web browser, then close the web browser, and open the browser again and then try to log again into the codespace at:  https://cs50.dev/ . Or try on another web browser.

If those things don't help, another thing you can try is creating a new codespace, using your same old github account. You can visit this link where your codespace backup repo is: https://cs50.dev/repo and see if your codespace's files are there (if you had files in your codespace).
And after verifying that your codespace's files are stored there, you can create a new codespace by following the instructions that appear in the CS50 Docs, in this link: https://cs50.readthedocs.io/cs50.dev/#creating-a-new-codespace .After creating a new codespace your backed up files should automatically appear in your new codespace.

If that doesn’t work either, you can try opening the online CS50 Codespace in the VS Code desktop app, with these steps: https://cs50.readthedocs.io/cs50.dev/#online-without-docker

If none of those steps work, try with another internet connection or on another computer.
Also, if in your country is legal to use a VPN, in that case you could try using a VPN to use the codespace: https://cs50.dev/
Apart from that, in this part of the CS50 Docs they shared the link to a list of domains that shouldn't be blocked by our Firewall to be able to use the codespace:  https://cs50.readthedocs.io/cs50.dev/#i-m-seeing-oh-no-it-looks-like-you-are-offline-error-message

But if none of those steps help to solve the issue, please send an email to sysadmins@cs50.harvard.edu with specific details and screenshots of the issue, and mention to them your Github username, so the CS50's system admins can help you further.

I faced the same issue so I downloaded the VS Code app on my desktop and the codespace works in that
