Subject: Re: [DXLab] Launcher installed but does not appear in task bar or as an Icon

+ AA6YQ comments below

Hello group and Dave.....I have just attempted to install DX Labs on a new Windows 11 machine. I have followed all the directions in the relocating DX Applications from one PC to another. I installed the the Launcher in the destination PC as instructed in Item 4. The launcher appeared and I followed the instructions in item 5. When I terminated the Launcher and tried to copy the relocation folder to the destination PC, it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file.

+ What does "it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file" mean?



In the error log for the Launcher agent it show version 1.4.8 which is not the correct Launcher version.


+ Please attach that errorlog.txt file to an email message, and send the
+ message to me via

aa6yq (at) ambersof.com



It also states that the Launcher is running but there is no Launcher in the task bar or shown as an Icon In the Launcher error text log it shows the Launcher agent failed unzip DLL. When I click on the LauncherAgent exec. it show that the Launcher is waiting to terminate.

Question: should I delete everything in steps 4 and 5?


+ Absolutely not! Please wait until I receive the errorlog.txt file so I can determine what's going on.

Grin, Dave, I actually?copied "Commander's smeeter folder"? from that page and paragraph, but it just did not click for me.? I was fixed on finding it in the config file...sigh!
?
I've been struggling a bit with the excellent user guide, not finding what I needed in any given moment...until I realized I can find most anything with a browser search.? When that does not work for me, I appreciate?the quick help here.
+ There are two quick ways to search for information.

1. To quickly search all of a DXLab application's Reference Documentation, download its PDF from the "Searchable & Printable English Reference Documentation" column of this table:



To initiate the search, open the downloaded file, and depress the CTRL key while clicking the f key. Mike K9UW updates these PDF files immediately after every application update, so they are always accurate and complete.

2. To quickly search all of the DXLab goal-oriented documentation and step-by-step instructions, navigate to



To initiate the search, depress the CTRL key while clicking the f key.

+ When I point out the documentation that answers a question posted here, the intent is not a rebuke. The intent is to show you where the answer you seek is located so that you'll be able to use the documentation more effectively next time, rather than have to post here and wait for an answer.

+ When you can't find the answer you seek, posting here is exactly the right step to take. All questions are welcome here, no matter how many times they may have previously been asked and answered, or how obvious the answers might be in the documentation.

Re: DXView main window not visible any more

 

It has happened to me several times, also.
To bring a hidden or off-screen window back to your main desktop, you can use keyboard shortcuts or taskbar options.?Right-click on the taskbar and select "Cascade windows" or "Show windows stacked" to arrange open windows, including the hidden one.?Alternatively, use Alt+Tab to cycle through open windows until the hidden one is active, then use Shift+Right-click on its taskbar icon and select "Move" to reposition it using arrow keys,
Re: DXView main window not visible any more

 

Close all applications except Launcher and DXView.
Open Launcher -> Config and click Reset in the bottom row.

Reset will move all windows for any open application to the
primary monitor.

DXView main window not visible any more

 

Hi,
?
usually, my DXView (4.9.8) main window starts minimized, only the World Map window is on
the screen.
?
Today I tried to maximize the main window, clicked on it in the tastbar, but it didn't appear on the
screen. I couldn't find a solution to let it appear. Uninstall and re-install didn't help as well, same
behaviour as before.
?
As I have no access to the DXView main window, I cannot pass an error log. I also have no access
to the World Map window any more, because I terminated it during trouble-shooting and would
need the main window to?let it re-appear.
?
I only was able to save DXViews application settings in the workspace, see below.
?
Any idea what I can do?
?
Thanks & 73,
Lui, DL6FBR

Re: Launcher installed but does not appear in task bar or as an Icon

 

+ AA6YQ comments below
Hello group and Dave.....I have just attempted to install DX Labs on a new Windows 11 machine. I have followed all the directions in the relocating DX Applications from one PC to another. I installed the the Launcher in the destination PC as instructed in Item 4. The launcher appeared and I followed the instructions in item 5. When I terminated the Launcher and tried to copy the relocation folder to the destination PC, it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file.
+ What does "it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file" mean?

In the error log for the Launcher agent it show version 1.4.8 which is not the correct Launcher version.

+ Please attach that errorlog.txt file to an email message, and send the message to me via

aa6yq (at) ambersof.com

It also states that the Launcher is running but there is no Launcher in the task bar or shown as an Icon In the Launcher error text log it shows the Launcher agent failed unzip DLL. When I click on the LauncherAgent exec. it show that the Launcher is waiting to terminate.
?
Question: should I delete everything in steps 4 and 5?

+ Absolutely not! Please wait until I receive the errorlog.txt file so I can determine what's going on.

Re: SpotCollector keeps going into yellow status

 

+ AA6YQ comments below
Spot database entries is 454000
+ That's the problem. If you're using SpotCollector to identify activity patterns of needed DX stations as well as propagation openings from your QTH to those needed stations, then on the Configuration window's "Spot Database" tab configure the "Size Control Panel to prune the Spot Database hourly to a maximum size of 30,000 entries. If you're instead using SpotCollector only to identify active stations with whom a logged QSO would advance your progress towards the awards or personal objectives you are pursuing, configure the "Size Control Panel to prune the Spot Database hourly to a maximum size of 1,000 entries

+ Take care to not pre-filter spots based on their source, as doing so could deny you an early opportunity to work a needed station. Use the Band filter to hide low-band Spot Database Entries during your daylight.

Re: SpotCollector keeps going into yellow status

 

I made some of the changes W4TV suggested. Specifically, I turned off all spots except N6WS and enabled a bunch of pre-filter options.
?
I have not noticed the number in red after Q, however will keep an eye out.

Maximum separation time is set to 60.
Spot database entries is 454000

seemed to be the right thing to do ....


so yesterday I? 'ALLOWED'? my main computer , an I5-12400,? to go ahead with Win10 to Win 11 upgrade.

Almost everything loaded up fine.. and even RAN including the DXlabs suite.

When testing the backup folder, which is a RAID drive in the adjacent (garage) cabinet, it could not find the Drive. So far the only thing at issue was the "mapped" network drive. Win 11 would not accept the usual naming protocols for the 4 drive assembly. So microsoft & netgear were worthless and not helpful pointing to the correct direction.I finally sent a note to the netgear forum..., since the factory EOL'd? end of life these years ago.

'within 10 minutes some netgear GURU replied with two suggestions.? I had messed with SMB ???& asked if I tried using the \\IP address...

THAT DID IT ...

so 24 hours later,,,? all is great. And the Win !!? is much faster, due to being a clean "os" install....

so we'll see if it keep going...

bill? :)

Windows 11 24H2 offers performance improvements and new features but has faced reliability concerns due to persistent bugs, though many issues have been addressed through patches. Here's a breakdown:

Key Considerations

  • Performance Enhancements: The update brings faster x86 emulation for ARM devices, improved File Explorer, and optimizations for AMD Ryzen and Intel Arrow Lake CPUs.
  • Resolved Issues: Patches have fixed problems with Ubisoft games, USB scanners, and Intel Smart Sound Technology drivers (blue screen errors on 11th Gen CPUs).
  • Lingering Bugs: Some issues remain unpatched:
    • Asus Compatibility: Certain Asus PCs still can't install the update.
    • Camera/App Glitches: Cameras may become unresponsive, and wallpaper apps might malfunction.
    • Anti-Cheat Conflicts: Easy Anti-Cheat drivers in multiplayer games may cause crashes.

Stability Status

  • Safeguard Holds: Microsoft blocks the update on affected devices (e.g., those using Safe Exam Browser v3.7 or older).
  • Patch Progress: Eight major patches since October 2024 have addressed most critical bugs, but minor issues persist.
  • User Reports: Concerns about stability remain on forums, though enterprise-managed devices are unaffected.

Recommendation

Proceed with the update if your device isn’t on a safeguard hold, as security risks increase with delayed updates. For mission-critical systems, wait 1–2 weeks after installation to monitor for device-specific issues. Always back up data before updating.

Re: SpotCollector keeps going into yellow status

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

Over the past few weeks I've had issues with SpotCollector turning to yellow status for my sources. Sometimes it's all 4 sources that I'm using, other times it may be 2, or just a single source.

+ That means the spot source has disconnected.

I have been closing SpotCollector and reopening which has, temporarily, allowed me to reconnect to my sources.

The yellow status seems to take place more on the weekends than during the week.

Any idea what may be causing my SpotCollector to continue to go into yellow status?

+ In the upper left corner of SpotCollector's Main window, there's the letter Q, followed by a colon and the number of spot about to be processed. Have you seen the letter Q rendered in red font?

+ On the Configuration window's "Spot Database" tab,

- to what is the "Combination Criteria" panel's "Maximum separation in time" option set?

- in the "Size Control Panel, how many Spot Database Entries are shown as present, and what number of "Spots per minute" is displayed?

Stability Status

  • Safeguard Holds: Microsoft blocks the update on affected devices (e.g., those using Safe Exam Browser v3.7 or older).
  • Patch Progress: Eight major patches since October 2024 have addressed most critical bugs, but minor issues persist.
  • User Reports: Concerns about stability remain on forums, though enterprise-managed devices are unaffected.

Recommendation

Proceed with the update if your device isn’t on a safeguard hold, as security risks increase with delayed updates. For mission-critical systems, wait 1–2 weeks after installation to monitor for device-specific issues. Always back up data before updating.
