I had the same issue and solved it by removing the %APPDATA%\nomic.ai folder. Turns out that the GPT4All.ini had some very weird settings for x, y, width and height and was therefore shown off-screen.

Try to edit or remove the GPT4All.ini.

Well, thank you very much for your help

@bkaestner That's interesting and good that you could fix it for yourself. 👍

Do you have an idea how that could have happened? It should simply store previous screen coordinates, so that it opens again in the same position with the same size. Maybe something to do with multiple monitors?

That might be the issue. I have a high DPI display with 250% scaling (laptop screen, need to look up the actual resolution) and a 3440x1400 secondary screen (100% scaling). I can try a fresh re-install on Monday to reproduce the issue. In case I manage to get a "wrong" GPT4All.ini again I'll post its contents.

Update: not able to reproduce the issue on the same machine anymore.

You can open a console and write: echo %APPDATA% and you should see the path.

Typically, the full path on Windows is C:\Users\<your-name>\AppData\Roaming\nomic.ai\GPT4All.ini

I reinstalled the program several times, but the nomic-ai folder did not appear in the roaming folder.

cosmic-snow commented 1 month ago

It's nomic.ai with a dot. Also, you might have to start it once after reinstalling for it to get created (again), not sure.

You can of course also try searching for GPT4All.ini in the whole user folder, it should turn up at some point.

The folder only gets created after you've run GPT4All for the first time.

Any updates? nomic.ai directory is missing in Roaming GPT4All.ini file is also missing. Reinstalling does not fix this
