If ever you have trouble on running Jamovi on your machine, you can refer to these steps that could work.
My laptop and other similar colleagues were having issues with starting up Jamovi receiving the tab, "Server Error", and relied on debugging and installments which, miraculously worked.
Install Drivers and Programming Languages
- Install the latest drivers for your model, Microsoft Visuals C++ from 2010 to 2022
- Install Python, R, & RStudio as these are essential for the software
Run the Jamovi again after restarting and see if it works for your end - this would help on using it offline if cloud version becomes inaccessible from time to time.
