  • 1.  Launcher never appears after logging in

    About a month ago, our office changed our domain and caused a problem with a demo instance of Standard Sage v2016 I have on my local C drive.  I double click the shortcut and the login screen pops up. I put in my credentials and hit enter twice to login and the launcher never appears.  I look in task manager and Sage is running, but no where to be seen, not even on the task bar.  I have another instance of v2015 Sage within the same folder on my C drive and when I log into that instance, the launcher appears.  So I thought it might just be corrupted v2016 instance.  I installed v2019 onto my C drive and had the same results at v2016, I could log in, but no launcher. Right clicking and running the shortcut as admin does not work either.  The only way the launcher will appear is if I hold Ctl+Shift and run the shortcut as a different user using an admin user.  If I login using that admin user, the launcher pops up. 

    The user I'm running it on is a part of the administrators group.  The directory on the C drive has full control for "Everybody". Our IT Team has created a new user profile for me and that didn't resolve the issue.  I have pushed out permissions again for that directory as well as to a few different places in the registry and on the C drive. Nothing has worked.  This only started happening when we changed domains. 

    I would have given up on this until a customer reached out to me last week with the same exact issue.  The launcher will only appear when we run the shortcut with a different user with higher permissions.  

    Has anyone experienced this before?  Any ideas on what to try, what to look for?  Thanks,

    Are you by any chance using the new Standard launcher in v2016?  Try deleting / renaming the Sage 100 folder in My Documents, try again and choose Classic when prompted.

    I saw that suggestion in Sage's KB, but I was going to C:\Users\<userlogin>\Documents or My Documents and looking there. The Sage 100 folder didn't exist, so I tried copying it in and it didn't work, so I renamed it and no change. However, I just opened up file explorer and went to documents and renamed the Sage 100 folder there and that worked. I've always used the classic desktop so at the time, I was not using the Standard. I'll see if it works for the customer.  Thanks!
