Open claw wont open after update

✅Solved

I asked my agent to update itself, and it gave me a weird message asking to reinstal it via npm, and after that it removed openclaw somehow, and my windows was not able to open it anymore via cmd. he asked me to run npm install -g openclaw@latest after he runs his command, but after that he went down. I runned the command, and I cant start the gateway, it just blinks, and closes in sequence. The last entry in the logs is:
{"0":"Gateway failed to start: Error: non-loopback Control UI requires gateway.controlUi.allowedOrigins (set explicit origins), or set gateway.controlUi.dangerouslyAllowHostHeaderOriginFallback=true to use Host-header origin fallback mode","_meta":{"runtime":"node","runtimeVersion":"24.13.0","hostname":"MOLTON","name":"openclaw","date":"2026-02-27T23:06:31.034Z","logLevelId":5,"logLevelName":"ERROR","path":{"fullFilePath":"file:///C:/Users/Molton/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/openclaw/dist/subsystem-DypCPrmP.js:1012:68","fileName":"subsystem-DypCPrmP.js","fileNameWithLine":"subsystem-DypCPrmP.js:1012","fileColumn":"68","fileLine":"1012","filePath":"/C:/Users/Molton/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/openclaw/dist/subsystem-DypCPrmP.js","filePathWithLine":"/C:/Users/Molton/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/openclaw/dist/subsystem-DypCPrmP.js:1012","method":"console.error"}},"time":"2026-02-27T23:06:31.038Z"}

Solution

openclaw config set gateway.bind "lan"

# ensure auth is on (token)
openclaw config set gateway.auth.mode "token"
$token = node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"
openclaw config set gateway.auth.token $token

# allow the Control UI origin(s) you will open in the desktop browser:
$laptopIp = "192.168.1.50"   # <-- replace with YOUR laptop IPv4
$laptopName = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$origins = @(
  "http://$laptopIp:18789",
