When viewing Designer Tag Browser individual tags are seen, but values for all tags disappear after a split second, leaving no values shown for entire tag browser.

I ran a script to just get the value for the tag (to see if it is reading from the realtime tag provider) and it came back with a good value.

I imagine that knowing your operating system, Ignition version and Ignition Designer version are going to be important here. The latter will be available from Designer's Help | About Ignition Designer.
