I just downloaded the latest nightly build and opened an existing project. When I try to launch a vision client, I don’t get any screen on startup and no menu bar. I have tried selecting a different window for startup as well as creating a new window, but I get the same result. I have also noticed that when closing down the designer and re-opening, the “open on startup” icon re-appears on the original window even though I have saved the project with a new window selected as the startup window. I did not have any issues when creating a new project from scratch, so I think it is either a corruption from upgrading my previous project or some security permission that I’m not seeing. It is also worth noting that the first thing I did after upgrading was to make my existing project the new parent project and delete the “global” project that was automatically created. This install is only used for testing and I didn’t want to deal with the parent/child project configuration. Maybe doing this created the problem. ---

Parent projects are not runnable projects. The idea behind Parent projects is that you can make changes to them which would be inherited to child projects _and that those child projects would be your actual project_. As you’ve already deleted the global project, make a new child project - which will be your true project going forward - and mark your current project as the parent project for the new project. ---

I don’t think this project is a parent project. The “Inheritable” check box is not checked in the project settings. Also, when I created a new project from scratch, I set it up the same without a parent project and it worked just fine. ---

Sorry, around here "Parent Project" 100% means project which is being inherited from. If you didn't make your project inheritable, then it's not a parent project. While I'm not encountering the issue with not having any project open, I am encountering the issue with the Open On Startup checkbox. I'm also seeing that changes in the Open On Startup checkbox are not saving to the project correctly. I'll open a ticket now, and I'll continue to investigate the project not opening correctly in the first place. ---

The open on startup issue should be fixed in the next nightly - I already have a fix in place, it just hasn’t been merged in. ---

Great, thanks for your help! Sorry if I used the wrong terminology. ---

This issue was fixed in the build that was uploaded today (2/6). Please let us know if you continue to see this behavior after upgrading. ---

~~Not that there’s a minor issue with the fix in the latest nightly - if you change the open on startup/about setting for a window you currently have open in the designer, you will lose any unsaved changes. It’s already been fixed (just needs to be merged in), so it’s a short-term issue, but be aware.~~ This issue is fixed in the next nightly build. ---
