GUI wallet stopped syncing

Question

I opened the gui wallet after a month of not using it. It started syncing for a day but then just stopped. It says it is connected and syncing but stays at the same last block. I have restarted it several times but it stays the same. I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! Don

Which specific block are you stuck at? It might be that you are using an outdated version. Are you using GUI beta 2? — dEBRUYNE, Jun 12 '17 at 12:21
I tried to download the latest version but I must be doing something wrong. — Don Cromarty, Jun 13 '17 at 16:14
Do I extract the files that come up? What extraction path? Sorry I'm not sure how to do this properly. — Don Cromarty, Jun 13 '17 at 16:16
Which OS are you using? You can download the latest version from here:
https://getmonero.org/downloads/

Extraction path can simply be a directory of your liking, as long as it does not contain spaces. — dEBRUYNE, Jun 14 '17 at 12:06
Try adding --block-sync-size 20 to the daemon command line. — user36303, Jun 14 '17 at 19:42
Hi, I downloaded the new version. It was syncing and then the pc froze. — Don Cromarty, Jun 16 '17 at 01:12
I restarted and now it wont sync again. I tried to start the monerod-exe,it starts up and then I get the message that there was a problem with the program and will shut down. Im using windows 8.1 Should I delete the wallet and reinstall? Thanks for your help! — Don Cromarty, Jun 16 '17 at 01:15
Apologies for the late response, I didn't get any notification from your comments. If your sync is stuck or monerod isn't working, please try this guide:

I'm very new at this, but I think that particular block was the fork. This means you have to be running the newest Monero software, and the first version will not sync past that point. (I'm having a similar problem, with a different block.)

You are correct. This is a couple dozen blocks after the fork, so this is a leftover chain maintained by a few miners which didn't update. Syncing the chain to the latest block requires monero 0.11. – user36303 Sep 19 '17 at 11:56

Update your Monero Gui (0.11.0.0 currently at this time). Sometimes it will show Synchronizing and sometimes Connected: but don't worry, it's just finding some blocks on the available networks.
