The light on My Cloud device started flashing after I was forced to reconfigure my PC. When I first powered up my WD Cloud device after rebuilding my Windows 10 computer the light was solid (on my WD Cloud) for a few seconds then it began flashing white. The online WD Knowledge Base (referencing LED status) reports a white flashing light is when the device is in discovery mode. Furthermore, when I attempt to open My Cloud with my original password and user name they are accepted but the dashboard never appears. The page is locked on a revolving circular arrow. I’m wondering if there a way to reset the network identification? I receive the message “can’t find this page” the address is: http://192.168.1.29/

A white flashing light means the file system was determined at boot to be possibly corrupt and it’s attempting to repair it.
It can take quite a long time. Not sure what KB is referring to “Discovery mode…”

@Kentown Did you look at the User Manual for a 1st generation My Cloud, Firmware 04.xx.xx? See LEDs, Chapter Two, Page Seven.
You said, “I receive the message “can’t find this page” the address is: http://192.168.1.29/”.
See Appendix A in the User Manual, see if that helps.

You said it can take a long time are you talking days or hours? My mycloud home due suddenly became unavailable the other day. It’s not the first time its happened but usually if I power it down and switch it back on it comes back but this time! It seems to be working with and I can hear the discs whirring and the network activity is all green but the front LED had been pulsing white for hours.
Do you have a My Cloud or a My Cloud Home device? They are not the same. The My Cloud Home is a entirely different device than the My Cloud line of devices. If you have a My Cloud Home see the correct subforum for that device. Suggestions or fixes for the My Cloud line of devices like will not work for the My Cloud Home since the My Cloud Home has different hardware and uses an entirely different operating system.
