[Bug]: Updated controlnet keeps WebUI from starting

Author: RFlint1Created Aug 5, 2024Updated Dec 16, 2025

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits of both this extension and the webui

What happened?

Updated to the latest controlnet within automatic1111. Upon restarting, I get this message in the console:

"ControlNet preprocessor location: ...\stable-diffusion-webui\extensions\sd-webui-controlnet\annotator\downloads Press key to continue...."

Once I press a key, the console quits. I am unable to get past this and into webui.

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. install latest controlnet via github link
  2. restart webui-user.bat
  3. cmd quits

What should have happened?

Webui should have continued to load.
