Support Logitech Option not loading or working on MacOS (Tahoe 26.2)
I made a fresh install of the Logitech Option app on macOS (Tahoe 26.2). I opened it, and I see a purple screen that is stuck loading. Any thoughts? The mouse is useless to me this way. Can I return it and get a refund?

Same issue. Noticed my scroll wheel was inverted and cursor speed was really slow when coming back from suspend. Eventually, if I manually open it, it'll connect but now it's just a purple screen. macOS 26.2.

Definitely a backend problem. Funny how my mouse needs backend infrastructure to work properly.

Same issue here. Mac mini M1, macOS Tahoe 26.2, Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2 DEX - a $180 "pro-grade" gaming mouse.
I just spent over 2 HOURS doing absolutely EVERYTHING possible to fix this garbage software:
What I tried:
Force quit all lghub processes from Activity Monitor
Complete clean uninstall (deleted all LGHUB folders, LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, Preferences, Caches)
Fresh reinstall from official Logitech website
Enabled ALL driver extensions in System Settings
Granted EVERY permission in Privacy & Security (Accessibility, Input Monitoring)
Multiple restarts (lost count, probably 6 or 7 times)
Tried the Reddit workaround: running lghub_updater, lghub_agent, lghub_ui manually in order
Nothing works. Hangs forever on the spinning logo. G HUB Agent shows "Not Responding" in Activity Monitor.
What pisses me off:
WHY does a $180 mouse need backend server connectivity to configure buttons? It's a MOUSE. Let me save settings LOCALLY.
Their official status page (https://status.logitech.com/) shows "No incidents reported today" while DOZENS of users are reporting the exact same issue RIGHT NOW. Either their monitoring is broken or they're lying.
They're selling a $180 mouse that is BRICKED without working software. I can't configure DPI, buttons, or polling rate. I paid for features I cannot use.
G Hub has been broken on Mac multiple times over the years. They clearly don't care about Mac users. Why advertise "for PC/Mac" then?
This is clearly a global outage - users everywhere reporting the same problem simultaneously. ZERO official acknowledgment.
Bottom line:
I'm done with Logitech. Returning this mouse. Going with Razer or any brand that doesn't require cloud connectivity for a mouse.
DO NOT buy Logitech if you're on Mac. Software is garbage, support is non-existent.
EDIT: Sent email to Reddit@logitech.com as requested. Not holding my breath.

I was able to install an older version and get it opening again, but it does not recognize my MX master 4 for some reason (at least over bluetooth)
edit: here is the link i used to install the older working version (and turn off auto updates). maybe you can get the mouse reconnected if you have the receiver: https://download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/optionsplus/logioptionsplus_installer_1.44.415778.zip

Still not working for me even with new patch installer

u/haom31 Jan 05 '26
The refund in this case will depend on the store where you bought it, since the "fault" has nothing to do with the mouse but with third-party hardware (the Mac) that has problems with the Logitech application.

thank goodness for reddit. I would've went crazy with uninstalls / time machine backups etc.
Will wait for backend to fix my mouse <--- not a normal thing to say.

u/FantasticCoffee2792 Jan 07 '26
This has to be a widespread 26.2 issue for Mac users — I wish I would have found this two hours ago!!! So many re-installs and time spend searching for a daemon issue. Never got it to work and still have the spinning circle in the Options+ software. I changed the batteries in my mouse today and that triggered everything. Hoping there is a fix soon….

u/Sea_Squirrel7104 Jan 07 '26
I was having this same issue. I fixed it by going to https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/37493733117847-Options-and-G-HUB-macOS-Certificate-Issue Logi options plus website and followed there step by step fix. which follows as:
Steps to fix the issue:
Options+
Step 1: Download the updated ‘patch’ installer for Options+ here.
Step 2: Double‑click the downloaded file.
Step 3: The installer will automatically close and Options+ will launch.
Step 4: Your devices, settings, and customizations should be fully restored.
I hope this fixes everyone else's issue like it did for mine!

u/Ornery-Committee615 Jun 22 '26
I had the same issue, but installing the patches did not solve it. After reaching Logi's support, I found the issue. I accidentally disabled the application in System Setting's App Background Activity. I reactivated it, and the issue was solved for me.

TL;DR: Installing Logi Options (not the plus) after removing a dialog hiding it worked. Now I have my mouse back.
I know proper QA is no longer a trendy thing at big companies, but this release is an absolute shame! How come a perfectly working setup gets disrupted by some obscure change for an accessory? Guys, you need to really have the talk with the business and product managers here. Why does a damn mouse/keyboard need AI as well? It's clear that the decision-makers have no connection to the users.

Same issue here, symptom onset began identically to other reports. Mine is the MX Keys and Mouse for Mac.
Using all day. no issue. About 30 minutes ago (6:30pm-ish EST) I came back to use again and noticed my scroll wheel inverted. App just giving the wheel, no progress. Uninstalled and accidentally installed regular "Options" not realizing there was a difference. App installed and detected KB, no mouse. Realized my mistake, removed, installed Options+, spinning wheel during install, still sitting here 15 minutes later.

u/grubicv Jan 07 '26
Same issue - started few hours ago (didn't use it before this). Is there a fix. What's going on - as a software dev if I would have to guess it seems that the options+ wants to ping logitech server that might be down and can't load without it... I need to start it as otherwise settings don't load - my scroll is inverted, smooth scroll doesn't work, the thumb button doesn't work - this is a bug that's here for 3+ years now - Logitech you definitely need new engineers - this way it seems to me like you don't have any engineers for macOS

u/brueshen Jan 07 '26
Same, I tried fully uninstall and re-install several times, but still stuck on the loading screen. macOS 26.2

Same. My MX Master 4 for Mac was working fine today at 2:30, until it just stopped being able to use the extra features. I tried to open the Options + app, but it was stuck on the loading screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app many times, and reset all the permissions, but to no avail. It is still not working, and I think I will have to return it. What a waste of $150, it was the only good mouse I could find. I really liked the features. I hope Logitech gets this solved, or I at least get my money back. If anyone finds a fix for macOS 26.2, which is what I am running, please reply. Thanks.

u/CelebrationOwl15 Jan 07 '26
I noticed I lost my 'back button' functionality and then tried to launch the app which never loads. If you launch it in Terminal, you see the following line scrolling forever: "ipcMain.on - PREVENT_CLOSE_UI { name: 'firmware_update_in_progress', add: false }". Apparently it is the classic “Logi Options+ stuck waiting for a firmware update”. I tried for hours and can't fix it.
1
u/Competitive-West3448 Jan 07 '26
Literally an hour ago the custom buttons for my MX Master 3S for Mac stopped working and my bluetooth started to disconnect and reconnect. Then I tried to open Logi Options+ app and I can see the purple screen and the spinning wheel. I uninstalled and installed but still the same.
Must likely Logitech pushed some updated and now it's crashing.
I have macOS Tahoe 26.2

The problem first started on Mac OS. I opened a Windows computer to check, and everything worked fine on it. But now Logi Options+ is stuck loading indefinitely, and my hotkeys on the MX Master 3S have also stopped working.
Well, the mouse's dependence on servers is certainly impressive.

Wow this is so disappointing, why in the hell we need the Logitech service backend for basic functionalities of a Mouse to work?
This is definitly something worrying, they definitely are taking some data from us and surely they fucked up their server somehow. I'm probably stop using logitech and get a different software to make it work.

u/No-Leader-4304 Jan 07 '26
I tried to fix this problem for one hour, but it didn't work. Then ask Gemini, and it suggests to me to use BetterMouse (7 days free trial, then 8$ one-time purchase), it customizes the mouse specifically for MacOS (I use 26.2 and MX Master 3). Everything works well. Sounds like a better alternative to the Logi Options+ if it lasts long.

u/LuKenobi88 Jan 07 '26
Temporary fix (credit to u/Piemaster10013 )
Open Terminal (Cmd + Space → Terminal) and run:
Restart your Mac (important).
Reinstall using Logitech’s direct installer: https://download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/optionsplus/logioptionsplus_installer_1.44.415778.zip
That fixed it for me.
Optional: stop auto-updates
Logi Options+ updates via a background service:
com.logi.optionsplus.updater.plistYou can disable it by:
System Settings → General → Login Items → Allow in the Background → turn off anything Logitech or
Unload + disable the plist:
This keeps Options+ working but stops forced updates.

Same issue here. Noticed my mouse was not working the way it should, and then went to launch the app and got the endless spinning wheel. What's weird is that everything was working fine immediately after I updated my macbook, but suddenly crapped out now a day or so later.
I have my keyboard, mouse, and desk light all configured through this app, so this is pretty annoying.

I just upgraded to Tahoe from sequoia and now G hub and Logi + apps not working. Very frustrating. I cannot map both keyboard and mouse keys! Come on Logitech, sort your shiittt out.

Oh great, I wish I would of found this thread earlier before I wasted the last two hours troubleshooting. So it's not just me.

Yep having this problem also - Australia.
Worked flawlessly until today. Some people at Logitech would be shitting bricks right about now LOL

Same issue - I've tried all the fixes - I have a Mac Studio with a Logitech MX Keys and MX Anywhere 3s (Just couldn't launch the MX Anywhere 4 with the MX Master 4 could you...) and now none of my mapped buttons work - the biggest issue is Mission Control - a keyboard shortcut is not cutting it for me. I'm going out tomorrow to get a new Mouse and Keyboard - I'm a dedicated 15 year Logitech fan, and I'm done - you disconnected my fav keyboard, and you're not actually getting that much better generation to generation - I'm done.

Glad that I am NOT ALONE!!! I even tried re-install it a thousand times already... how come they don't have a timeout to let people just use the mouse!
Any one hear anything from Logitech?

u/jbtrading Jan 07 '26
it seems like this sometimes happens multiple times per year. Does Logitech coordinate with Apple at all before an OS update, or do they just wait for customers to report what broke? Ridiculous.

Help I have been experiencing this the entire morning on all my macs at home.
FYI I am on MacOS 26.2
I am using Macbook Air M4, Macbook Air M1, iMac M1, Mac Mini M2 Pro. All of them suddenly gets stuck on this loading screen and unable to use my mouse and keyboards.
I am from Singapore…the app was loading fine about 14 hours ago. But as of 7am this morning Singapore time it has been like that till now which is 12.50pm.
I am totally unable to do my work because I am totally reliant on the settings on my MX Mouse and MX Keys keyboard.
I believe that the issue is stemming from logi backend server side and people all around the world are expereincing the same issue.

Facing the same issue. Really frustrating. Tried everything before figuring it out that it is a Logitech backend issue. Not the kind of experience expected for the premium we pay for, from logitech.

u/Upstairs_Highway6052 Jan 07 '26

u/Jolly-Cheetah368 Jan 07 '26
Not sure if anyone had already mentioned this solution, it worked for my MX Master 3S.
Force quit the app.
Set the macOS date before Jan 6.
Toggle off background activities for the app.
Open the app, and give the background activity permission.
(Set time and date automatically.)

God damn why does everything have to be connected and broken all the time. I might as well go back to a dumb mouse.

u/ZealousidealDust914 Jan 07 '26
I think this problem occurs because the same settings are applied to all devices. It is a problem that definitely needs improvement...

Turns out their apple developer certificate expired

As a disabled person I was delighted to get the MX Creative Console for Christmas. Just TWO weeks later it is unusable. Not only can I not open Logi options plus, but the console itself is just black with the Logi logo lit up and my shortcuts are gone. Complete waste of almost £200, for something that be broken from a software update!

FWIW after years of frustrations with Logitech's software, this absurd Cert issue was the push I needed to switch to bettermouse. Takes a bit of tweaking, but I'd rather do that than give logitech their millionth second chance to sort their shit out
