Hi Good day All,

Having first time with BlueOS Cockpit 1.18.2 Version. Before I succeed operating my Bluerov2 with it however after tried again I could not located the Cockpit on my Desktop.

I have tried reinstall the apps but still the same. Any idea ?

Hi @lmarwin84, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

I’m not really sure what you mean by this. I’m most familiar with installing applications in some kind of applications folder - is there a reason to expect it on your desktop? Or are you saying you can’t see the interface displayed after you open it or something?

It could help to know what operating system you’re using, as well as whether you’re using a monitor, and whether you can open and minimise Cockpit somehow (regardless of whether you can see it on your desktop).

Hey @lmarwin84 !

I’ve experienced exactly the same issue, particularly on Windows. I’ve also encountered similar behaviour with Microsoft Office applications.

It usually happens after Cockpit has been opened on an external monitor. After disconnecting the monitor, Windows sometimes still thinks Cockpit should open on that now-nonexistent display. In your video, the brief white flashing animation appears to show Cockpit opening on this “virtual” external screen.

A workaround that consistently works for me is:

  1. Open Cockpit, even though its window is not visible.

  2. Open any other application.

  3. Activate Windows’ split-screen function by dragging the visible application to the side or corner of the display.

  4. Windows should then show Cockpit as one of the available applications for the other half of the screen.

  5. Select Cockpit.

  6. Once Cockpit is visible again, close the second application and maximise Cockpit.

Cockpit should then return to the laptop’s main display and can be used normally again.

Hope this helps! :smiley:
