3CX Phone runs in background with no GUI

[GDavid]

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.

The 3CXWin8Phone.exe runs in Processes, but there is no GUI and nothing in the Taskbar. Can't see it during alt-tab (ruling out the 'off screen' theory)

The install was previously working and must have stopped (the user isn't sure when) in the last couple of days. Windows 7 Pro, non-domain. Original installation over a month ago had no issues and registered easily. There is only one user on this PC.

Have tried:
Uninstall and re-install 4 times.
Uninstalled, deleted the 3CX folders in Appdata and Program Files, also tried running ccleaner on the registry after uninstall.
AND rebooted. Several times.
disabled antivirus and removed programs installed in the last few days.


getting a little frustrating.
thanks,

I started a ticket.. as been escalated twice thus far.
Best at current is a workaround.. Run as Administrator is working.
Certainly annoying!
Might still be user profile, but I ruled that out last round.

Thanks Ian, appreciate your help. I could try a different profile. Currently this user is set up as a local admin, but I can activate the administrator account and test on there if you think it would be helpful.

When you first run the application does the client load normally? Is this happening only when you minimise the app? I would try the new V15 client and see if that is working for you

I have the same problem. Just installed V15 on a Windows 10 machine. The client stays on the taskbar but I'm unable to maximize it. I'm able to make calls from the webclient so it does appear to be working.

Hi Sal,

I have encountered a bug where the client goes offscreen when maximized. Try mousing over the 3CX icon in the taskbar, right clicking the 3CX phone window and clicking 'move' then use the arrow keys left or right to move the client back into view.

V, that actually worked. Thanks
