Hello,

Why the Error Happens -

Talend Studio launches a component server (used for Talend Component Kit) when you log in.
By default, the startup timeout is set very low (2 seconds in your case).
If your machine is slow to initialize, or if Studio is under heavy load, the server doesn’t start in time, causing the timeout error.

Recommended Fixes -

Increase the Timeout

Edit the Talend-Studio.ini file (found in your studio installation directory).
Add or update this line:

Code

-Dtalend.studio.sdk.startup.timeout=60

(You can set 30–60 seconds depending on your environment.)

Save and restart Studio.

Increase Memory Allocation

In the same .ini file, adjust the -Xmx value (default is often 1536m).
Example:

Code

-Xms1024m

-Xmx4096m

This gives Studio more heap space, reducing startup delays.

Thanks

Hello @tejib

Also please check maybe your /etc/hosts file, no localhost / 127.0.0.1 in this file. It's sometimes disable with VPN in fact.

Or the operation manager enabled feature from the Cyber security software that allows to redirect the request, if so please prevent the information security software to redirect the port to bind

Best regards
