It is interesting to look at the Fritzing process using Process Monitor because it is going round just about every folder in my computer (why?) trying to create git.exe and I think this is why it appears to be hanging.
For example:
CreateFile C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Windows Live\git.exe “NAME NOT FOUND”
I think this is why it is taking so long and I hope it can be fixed. 
Since you forced it closed the database now needs to be deleted manually and then you can restart and be patient while it downloads and installs parts updates. It takes a long time and gives no feedback. We know it was working because it corrupted the database.
There is a hidden Fritzing folder that has all of your parts in it along with your configuration files. I do not know where it is on Windows. Once you find it you can make a copy if you have added any parts manually and if not you can simply delete the entire thing. Then you just reinstall/start Fritzing and wait patiently, go for a coffee or watch a movie while you wait.
Sorry, but clearly that’s not what is wrong. Why is Fritzing.exe iterating around every folder on my PC looking for git.exe ?
Thank you, was hoping that there was one out there.
Maybe this will help others. I installed Git from https://git-scm.com/download/win then I copied git.exe from C:\Program Files\Git\bin to c:\windows\ and I saw (in Procmon) that Fritzing stopped trying to find Git and then moved on to tell me there were some old files to clean, then it offered the parts update, and off it went. No problem opening my existing fzz files, no corruption.
But the underlying problem is that Fritzing is trying to find git.exe (and git.cmd, and some other git -related files). Hopefully this problem can be fixed in the next Fritzing release.
Well the HV transformers turned up - yay -, but it looks like they are wound for a different HV circuit - boo -.
Oh well.
Does anyone have PHPT61002NYCX part?

Hi, i just make a small circuit which detects electromagnetic fields using mosfet and BJT transistors, I just bought the pieces and i am waiting for them to start testing at the real life, so advancing in my report i downloaded fritzing to draw my project, after i finished drawing all seems to be good, instead of the 1 gigaohm resistor, i don’t know what’s that weird connection, can anyone help me? the schematic and the breadboard prototypes are in the file .fzz, I’ll also add an image of my original circuit. thank you.

That dotted line through R6 is a ratsnest, ie you forced a connection in another view.
If you look at R6 in your SCH the ends are numbered, so probably you didn’t know that and simply connected any end in BB view.
The best way to fix it is go to SCH and delete minus R6, then bring another new resistor in and connect it, and then trust the ratsnests in the other view to connect it.
Thanks for the help Old_Grey, i saw the problem when i posted this thread after 20 minutes, my R6 was supposed to be connected into the potentiometer, i checked it, and i was putting the jumper out of the resistor, so, that’s why the wire was a ratsnest, in the old .fzz that i uploaded, the jumper connected to Gate, is connected to nothing, after i saw that, i fixed it, no more ratsnest, thank you anyways, have a nice day
i’m not that familiar with the fritzing use of git but generally programs need to be kept in the install directory in order to work as designed. since you moved git if fritzing was to call git to perform a function then git may not function correctly. since fritzing was scanning for git location it would probably have found the normal install directory. could be this speculation of mine is wrong but something to keep in mind should git crash or fritzing not perform correctly.
Alguien me podría ayudar, ya descargué Fritzing 3 veces, dos 64 bits y una de 32 bits, y en todas me aparece lo mismo; cuando ejecuto la aplicación: abre, pero nada más abrir me aparece que el “programa no responde”. Uso Windows 10 Home. Se los agradecería mucho si me pudieran ayudar
probaste las versiones más viejas?

You probably corrupted the install by closing it before it updated the parts bins - there is no message that tells you it’s updating -. Search the forum for a solution.
Probablemente corrompió la instalación cerrándola antes de actualizar los contenedores de piezas, no hay ningún mensaje que indique que se está actualizando. Busca en el foro una solución.
How can i remove my profile and all of my projects?
Open up any part (e.g. generic female header) in New Parts Editor and click on Connectors tab.
You will see in top edit box number of connectors = 2.
Below you will see
id: connector0 for pin 1
and id: connector1 for pin 2
Now increase the number of connectors to say = 10
What you now see for pin 3 is a connector id = connector3 instead of connector2
…
It is a non-consecutive increase. It should be connector 2

Please also attach any files that help explaining this problem
This problem can only be replicated in Parts Editor.
I have spent weeks creating a part which has more than 64 connectors.
I cannot now find a way to get the connector ids to match because parts editor cannot count properly. This is such a basic error that can so easily be fixed. I am just surprised it hasn’t been sorted by now and is not seen as top priority.
Do you have a picture or link to the real part? Since the ones that I found on google are slighty different from yours.
It happens always when I am making a new part with tons of connectors. The best quick-fix so far:
Yes, that is one way but then the preferred standard for parts is to have connector ID’s starting at 0 and this method it starts at 1.
I eventually resolved by opening up the fzp file and manually changing the connector numbers to make it consecutive. A little laborious but it worked.
But there is more to this problem. If I reduce the connector count then increase again then decrease and increase a 2nd time the new numbering is even more off.
For example start with an eight connector. the last connector id is 7. Add another 8 connectors for example and it skips connector id 8 and starts at 9. That’s as per above. Now reduce connector count down to zero or one. Now increase to say 20. This time it still starts at connector 9.
