@mayconfsbrito after downloading cloudflared on your machine, did you happen to rename the executable? If not, would you be able to try running PowerShell as an admin and then running .\cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe tunnel login and letting me know what you see?

If that doesn't help, I may recommend opening a Cloudflare support ticket where we can request logs and take a deeper look.

@abelinkinbio I didn't rename the executable. Sorry for delaying my answer, I formatted and reinstalled windows completely in my machine because I thought that this problem could be related with my environment.

When I tryied running .\cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe tunnel login a cloudflare login page was open. This way may work for my case.

Thank you so much @abelinkinbio

Are you able to bring tunnel up @mayconfsbrito ?
