UPDATE: A second developer is seeing two instances of himself in the gateway and in the project, as you can see in the screenshots below, he is "meadoae" and he has two open instances and he's closed the application and restarted the computer.. Bellow is a screen shot of the active users and what project they're in. ![{B3735AF0-7893-45D8-A4E4-5EA04F74DC92}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/b/6b8c057c9934de50f39eac151997b9486f8707dc.png) If I go into my project, "Maintenace\_Overtime\_Signup" it'll show that there are two individuals logged in, my current instance and an instance of me from a few minutes ago. Is there any way to fix this? ![{79303E7F-37B7-4766-93A4-F881C417B007}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/7/c7fd7ab0dd49d3b10b7c927e15ec64f9a118c59d.png) ![{14701101-42AF-4D54-BC05-0CA4997167E5}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/a/da83723d1ffe009f18df456bdb5f824afc5f0c45.png) For context, I inherited this project because the previous developer left so I've been going in and trying to learn how the program works, right. Earlier when I was in it I created a view called test and was playing with some components, but after I was done I closed the project AND I DID NOT SAVE, I have yet to do so. Any who, is it possible t hat this bug also created the view "Employee View Access 203008" because I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before... **Yes, I did reboot my computer.** ALSO, the test view no longer exists in the project, but the "Employee View Access 203008" does... But in the bottom image you can see that I'm using the "Test" view, when it doesn't even exist. ![{113615FE-01A2-4877-8F88-FF09AFF9B131}](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/3/f32b77f8c6559ecc389649e528a41d2225a0e7a1.png) ---

This has happened sometimes over a several years. I know restarting the gateway helps. I dont know if there are better solutions by now. > [@Phantom Designer Sessions](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/phantom-designer-sessions/52085/6): > > my college had this too the other day that i was “logged in”. But i wasnt (nothing in the background running either). When i did log in myself he saw me twice. Restarting designers didnt help, gateway did tho. v8.1.10 Tho it happend before too i cant remeber what version that way. Wasnt to much of a problem ---

I kinda figured, I was hoping for a faster solution, one that wouldn't require a restart of the gateway. We'll wait till end of shift to do so.
