Hangs with spinning circle "loading" message on Windows install

[glenviewjeff]

I’m using a Windows 7 install. I had it installed and running correctly doing TTS, but at least a couple of times it’s crashed and the TTS stopped responding.

I’m now getting "API doesn’t respond. Check the log file to see the error message in the cast-web-api-desktop window. In the transparent background of this error is a spinning circle showing “Loading,” which shows up once you hit “close.” The loading message never stops. I seem to recall this happened when I first installed it, and I can’t remember how I ended up (temporarily) fixing it.

All of the failed logs, found in %AppData%\Roaming\cast-web-api-desktop\logs are zero length.
