 * Block Editor was working just fine yesterday afternoon. Since last night I cannot
   edit or create any new posts using the block editor. That means I also cannot
   edit. If I switch to Classic Editor I lose things from the post…ask me how I 
   know…
 * I get a white screen with a white box that says “The editor has encountered an
   unexpected error.” It gives 3 options, attempt recovery, copy post text, copy
   error. Nothing happens if I click on any of them.

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and switch to the default Twenty Nineteen theme. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of the problem.
 * If you can install plugins, install [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/).
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.

 * I have the same problem. I’ve installed default WP theme as well to see if it
   helps. I’m on WordPress.com Personal plan and cannot install plugins to get back
   the Classic Editor.

 * I took my old site down completely and rebuilt from scratch (costly). I think
   the issue is with the older Linux like OS kernels that no longer recognize the
   language within updated versions – which is a real downer.
 * Cause in releasing new plugins that stuff should’ve been tested to see if it 
   plays friendly with oder OS.
 * One of the venders for a Guttenburg plugin troubleshooted my old site and couldn’t
   supply an answer.

 * UUMMMMMM!!! Not exactly
    This reply DOES NOT answer if and/or why the second 
   coming – block editor will work on older versions of Linus OS.
 * I didn’t come to an answer for my challenge I merely circumvented by creating
   a new website – trashing the old. That’s not resolution! That’s. Giving. Up.

 * Hi
    I having the same problem when using the block editor on the new page or 
   editing my pages. WordPress shows me the wite page. I disabled all plugins, but
   this problem didn’t fix.This problem arose from the time I updated my WordPress
   to the latest version and had previously worked well with these installed plugins.
   Is there a problem with the WordPress kernel?

 * I have a multisite with the plugin Classic editor and in some sites in the multisite
   I can choose between classic editor and blockeditor but in some other sites there
   is no option to choose editor.
