Switching projects makes even more stuff disappear: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/f/afaf17c2ddedc1b92bdb7af20c9444912bf6d123.png) Seems very similar to this forum post: [[Bug-13647]Vision Windows Folder Disappeared - #9 by dholt](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-13647-vision-windows-folder-disappeared/24298/9) I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled ignition, but nothing’s changed. v8.0.16 ---

Is the Vision module installed? What’s its status? Can you upload the gateway logs somewhere? ---

Designer logs could also be helpful, if the modules are installed but failing to load in the designer context for some reason. ---

Just another datapoint for you - I had this exact same issue, someone from Ignition was able to fix my project file for me. It was caused by something getting corrupted in the Vision Client tags file. ---
