Currently using Ignition 8.1.11 on windows 10VM.

Hi I have currently setup the docked windows one is north, south and west. All these docked windows opens on startup but if click on west window menu button it disappears. North and south windows stays without any issue.  
i have tried to change couple of settings… but no luck so far.

What was the solution? I'm currently having a similar issue with my south docked window, it opens on startup but disappears once I navigation to a different screen using tab strips on a west docked window.
