Hi Myrunaya

Please pose this question on the Discussion board of the PyMAPDLGitHub site https://github.com/ansys/pymapdl

There are multiple causes of this so it may take some work to narrow down what is happening with your specific set-up. But normally the first thing to try is setting the "start_timeout" to a larger value on the launch_mapdl command.  See here:
