GeoffHarris Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi Nick. Thanks for your help. I can right click the taskbar and close all Orbx windows. But am unable to reopen ORBX central to access settings as when I double click on the icon on my desktop ORBX Central goes straight to the taskbar, where I am unable to maximise it. The Central icon on my desktop has the windows shield type image on it is this significant? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hello, try this: Close Orbx Central, go to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Orbx\Central\central.json and open it with Notepad. Scroll down to this section and change it to match.

GeoffHarris Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi Nick. Sorry but cannot seem to get further than 'My Name' Cannot see AppData Folder. I've included a screenshot for you to inspect. What am I doing wrong? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffHarris Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 An update Nick Found the file and changed script as you specified. ORBX still opened into taskbar as before Went back to notepad to script and the paragraph is not there anymore see screenshot. Where do I re insert it?

GeoffHarris Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 This is weird the text re appeared following a re boot of my pc. Tried starting ORBX and still loads to taskbar and no further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Williamson Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi Geoff, Try to delete the C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Orbx\Central\central.json file completely. This will reset your Central settings so you will need to re-add your library (D:\ORBX Librarys), but should fix the location of Orbx Central on your screen.

GeoffHarris Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Thanks Mitchell, that seems to have worked. Is there anything I should do to stop it happening again? Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hello Geoff, do you have more than one monitor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Thanks, I was wondering if Orbx Central could have been running on the second monitor, while it was turned off. I have been caught out by this before, when a program appeared to be invisible, though running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffHarris Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Thanks Nick. Seems to have sorted it out now, but am waiting on a reply re what steps to take to stop happening in future. Thanks for your help. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbx Central remembers where it was when you last opened it. Windows can occasionally shift the location of monitors, and therefore the location Orbx Central was previously located can be off the screen. There isn't an easy way to avoid this, but I've made a note of this to see if we can add a solution on our end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
