I know this thread has no traction yet, but I wanted to update for any casual browsers. I went ahead and nuked everything and upgraded my lando from 3.0.0-RC.1 to RC.12 and both of my previous issues are now working. I’ll continue to monitor and see if #1 happens again and try to determine a root cause.
Also, for any other casual browsers see this thread Issue starting Lando with Bedrock if you’re encountering issues with version of lando 3.0.0-RC2 and greater.
