Update v.7.0 Maintenance

Stutterwarp, on Dec 14 2011 - 20:08, said: I have the same issue. A reboot hasn't resolved this either. It just sits with a spinning gear icon and a "Loading Interface..." message. Windows Task Manager show 00 CPU use for the process.
No errors reported in the WOTLauncher.log:
