Bisq window not showing under Wondows 11

Support
1

I don’t know what happened. From one day to another my Bisq (v1.9.19) window does not show on my Windows 11 PC (24H2). I only see the icon and the preview on the taksbar but the window itself does not open and also the splash screen does not appear when starting the application.
In an older post I found the tip of using Alt+Space but it does not work for me.
I tried already running the setup file and choosing the option “Repair”.
Also, tried to restart my PC which unfortunately also did not help. Has anybody similar issues?

I could reinstall Bisq and restore a wallet backup, but how about the signing of my account? Can this information be preserved or do I have to start over again setting up the account and having to sign it again?

Try this:

  1. Right click the desktop application.
  2. Select properties
  3. On the ‘Run:’ option make sure ‘Normal window’ is selected
  4. Press Ok and then retry loading Bisq

Thanks for your reply. I checked it and yes, the properties are set to run in a normal window - which it did until recently. From one day to another the window will not show any more.

Try this which might or might not work in Windows 11.

  • click on the taskbar icon so that bisq is selected.
  • press Alt-Space
  • click on Maximize

if this doesn’t help, install bisq in a virtualbox environment where you placed debian/ubuntu.
Or, in case you don’t really need to use windows for your daily needs, switch to linux altogether, it won’t hurt you I promise, just burn a little for the first weeks and then you will thank yourself for having made the jump.
