SonarQube developer edition stuck at home page loading animation

I’m running the developer version in trial, since this is for evaluation i started testing with the H2 embedded DB i’m running:

• SQ Developer edition version 8.4.2
• testing in chrome browser on win10 machine
• using the zip packaged variant of SQ
• emptied the browser cache before running server

When running the server everything seems to run fine, and server is up. Once i move to running the web app, on localhost:9000 i’m greeted with the loading animation of the home page and it stays that way, checking the browser console for errors i get the below two errors:

vendors-main.m.3b31e8a5.chunk.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
main.m.f35f4ac9.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

vendors-main.m.3b31e8a5.chunk.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
main.m.f35f4ac9.js:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()

Here's a screenshot of the browser console:

And the server up and running but landing page stuck at loading animation:

Appreciate if you faced similar issue to help me out, my trial license is running out and i still haven;t tested anything yet.
