Look at the Designer logs for errors. There was probably an error loading the Perspective module on your system. ---

Call tech support, I had the same problem. There is something that doesn’t get set or unset and you have to fix an ini file or something, I wasn’t watching well enough I had multiple fires at same time. ---

1、Gateway-Home- Launch Desiger ,click to Designer can see the Perspective Tree. 2、Open Designer - Always has no the Perspective Tree. 3、Open Designer - view Gateway ,find the default Browser is IE. 4、Then set the default Browser to Edge. 5、Open Designer again, Perspecitve Tree is show. It’s OK. ![f152814b-366e-40db-84dc-0a688ce96190](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/8/485b2e9ac745adf15c310a8df3f7f7541dba6da0.png) ---

So I’m not following how to initialize the Perspective module in the tree again. Where is the default Browser setting. Sometimes the designer opens with Perspective, sometimes it doesnt. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/f/3f7454ea26cd2f6d75b82c4b4c11d36f2069dbd4.png) ---

> [@Kevin.Herron](#): > > Look at the Designer logs for errors. There was probably an error loading the Perspective module on your system. All the stuff the OP did was irrelevant/a red herring. The Designer uses an embedded version of the Chromium browser called JxBrowser for Perspective. It doesn't use anything from the underlying operating system. Look in your **designer**'s logs on a startup where you _don't_ see Perspective and you'll see a pretty clear failure/error message. Post that here in a new topic (or contact the support department) and we'll walk you through the general troubleshooting steps. The exact fix is going to vary, because everyone's environment is different, but _most_ of the time it's some kind of IT/security software interfering. ---

That isn’t a designer log, that is a gateway log, and that is referring to line 12 of a script which would have nothing to do with Perspective not opening in Designer. > **[Designer Diagnostics | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.3/platform/designer/designer-diagnostics)** > > The Help menu in the Designer has a Diagnostics option, which displays the Diagnostics window with tabs for six different troubleshooting features. ---

I just ran into this issue and found a number of chromium background processes in task manager. I closed my designer session and hit end task on all chromium processes. One of them threw an error before ending. I opened the designer launcher again, tried to open the project, and it just worked. I assume something weird got held up. Probably shouldn't have left everything open over the weekend...
