I had exactly the same problem, using Xampp on windows: Telescope wasn't working at all: I was able to load Telescope with the normal path: localhost/myproject/public/telescope

But I observe that every links in the menu was wrong: localhost/telescope/queries, localhost/telescope/requests, etc...

So I guessed that path crashed all telescope. I tried to modify the .env file to set the TELESCOPE_PATH, but all my attempts were futile: telescope home page became localhost/myproject/public/myproject/public/telescope, other link was corrects but telescope wasn't watching at all.

I saw in this tutorial that Jeffrey was using Virtual Hosts, so I tried this out and configure my Xampp server to listen on "myproject.local". And it worked!

Telescope is now fully working on myproject.local/telescope and all links are corrects!

To set virtual hosts on Xampp server on Windows 10, go at: https://www.cloudways.com/blog/configure-virtual-host-on-windows-10-for-wordpress/

The tutorial was made for Wordpress but it work for all installations.
