GUI does not show up #876

ViktorGruber commented 6 years ago

I've had this problem since the last two versions 2.5.5 and 2.5.6. The wallet simply does not show up. There is a process in the taskmanager, but no window/GUI to be found. Is there any solution to this? I tried reinstalling a few times, but still it doesn't show up.

This is on windows 10.

I have the same issue

I'm also running on Windows 10 (64)

I tried to install the version 2.5.4, 2.5.5 and 2.5.6 and get the same result.

when the installation is over, the wallet is displayed on the GUI and I was able to play with.

Then after a close, impossible to reopen the GUI. As described into the main post, the process is started into the task manager (1 process, then 2 "IOTA Wallet.exe" processes after ~1 second , then only 1 after ~15 seconds)

I tried from the command line, same result.

Ok, I solved my problem

there was a conflict between "IOTA light Wallet" and another application started in the background

The guilty application is :

ePowerEvent this application is part of a group of 3 applications deployed on my computer

ePowerEvent (Stands for Acer ePower Management Event Handler) ePowerSvc (stands for Acer ePower Service) ePowerTray (stands for Acer ePower Tray Process Management System) you have to disable / uninstall this application (or the group) and it works perfectly

If you do not have this application, I advise you to do a "clean boot" http://www.thewindowsclub.com/what-is-clean-boot-state-in-windows

if "IOTA light Wallet" starts after the "clean boot", it means there's a conflict with an application started in the normal boot mode, in this case, restart the PC in a normal boot mode, then kill application after application until finding the conflict (do not forget to kill services also)

Good trading to you
