php artisan queue:work is not working, I don't know why?

Question

I tried using the php artisan queue:work command, but I didn't get any results. There were no error messages or notifications about any issues—it just seems to freeze. As soon as I run the command, the terminal becomes unresponsive, and I can't type or change anything. I have tried many ways but nothing changes. .env file BROADCAST_DRIVER=local queue.php 'default' => env('QUEUE_CONNECTION', 'sync'),
