Run Node-red on Windows10

After a while of inactivity, I try to connect to Node-Red again, but I cannot access Node-Red and my previous flows. I accidentally deleted my desktop shortcuts.
http://127.0.0.1:1880 does not help.
I cannot find my previous questions on the forum. That would probably help me too.

What command are you using to start node-red? Or are you running it as a service?

Do you mean this one? But that seemed to be on a Raspberry PI, instead of windows 10?

Indeed, in the meantime I have also been able to determine that those questions were about an application on a Raspberry Pi.

In the meantime, I have also found how to retrieve my previous posts (after logging in).

I am going to try to run Node-Red again on the Raspberry Pi.

Thank you for your efforts.

If you do want to run on Windows 10, there are plenty of threads in the forum about it and how to start it as a Windows Service. Personally I run it manually under PM2 as I use it as a development environment.

Finally, I managed to restart Node-Red as before on the Rasp Pi. However, without my Flows that I made before.
Can that still be fixed, please?
I can't remember exactly which command I used, but I ran 'Node-Red start' twice and suddenly it started up with 'http://host:1880' or initially with the link 'http://127.0.01:1880'. All this reached the limit of my ability.

The command is node-red --safe note thatā€™s two dashes before the word ā€˜safeā€™.

Without the dashes, you told node-red to start using a flow file called ā€˜startā€™ which would be empty.

I running it as a service on a Raspberry Pi 3.

The command to start node red as a service on a Pi (though I am not sure what this has to do with the title of this thread) is
node-red-start
and to tell node-red to start automatically on boot
sudo systemctl enable nodered
That assumes that you used the recommended method of installing node-red.
