Meteor application - Stuck at "Starting your app" when trying to run

Question

I have a Meteor 1.3.1 project and I try to run in IntelliJ Webstorm on Windows 10.

The problem is that when I run my application everything works fine up until all the packages are loaded, then the program gets stuck at "Starting your app". So I get the "Started proxy" message and all the packages load properly.

I can also mention that I have a Macbook on which the project runs just fine. So it feels like the problem is related to some configuration on my Windows machine...

The image below shows where the terminal gets stuck after running meteor --verbose.

There is no error message or anything, the terminal just keeps saying "Starting your app".

I have tried the following with no result:

• running meteor reset command
• reinstalling meteor.
• turning my firewall off in case it would cause some problem...
• creating a new project and running it (the same problem occurs for all projects).
• Create and run a new project from Windows command line. (the same thing happens, gets stuck at "starting your app").

I greatly appreciate any suggestions to how to solve this problem! I've been bashing my head to the keyboard for quite a while and haven't managed to find a solution online either...
