The blog will provide you with all the available fixes that can be executed to solve the problem of the extension not working. 

  Fixes to resolve the issue

  Though the term “MetaMask not responding” does not specify the exact issue that a user is facing, still we are providing you with common fixes to help you out.

  Restart Browser and PC

  This is the primary step that should be taken by the user in case of non-working. Firstly, you should try to close and try restarting your browser and if it does not work shut down and restart your PC. Restarting your PC will stop the whole working of MetaMask in the background that was resulting in its non-working and then after restarting you will be able to use the MetaMask Extension smoothly. 

  Switching Network

  It might be possible that the network you are currently using is not supported by MetaMask Chrome Extension. For instance, it is possible that you were on the website that works as network chain of Binance and MetaMask works on Ethereum network, then we already know that MetaMask is not responding due to the absence of Ethereum network. Hence you will have to switch between networks. 

  Updating or Re-installing of App or Browser

  The reason behind the non-working could be that it is not up to date. Look out for any update available to download and if it is then update your application. Delaying of update will eventually lead you to non-working of MetaMask Chrome Extension. And after installing the new update, delete all the current extension installed of it and download the new one. 

  And if your MetaMask is updated then still it is recommended that you uninstall and reinstall the browser extension. 

  Clearing of data

  Try to clear the cache of the site or deleting the junk files. Sometimes cache stops the sites from working because there might be some virus in them. 

  Steps to take for Account Prevention

  Because of increase in cyber security scams there are high chances of you to get trapped in the scam. So here we are with some tips that you should take in consideration:

  In case of any message received and it is asking for some help then do not respond to the message.

  Know that MetaMask will never officially send you direct message to help you out with the issue.

  MetaMask does not provide any support groups on other platforms, therefore, do not join any telegram, WhatsApp groups or any other group.
