SmartSDR 2.49 white screen --frustration

edited July 2019 in SmartSDR for Windows
Brought up Flex6500 Ver. 2.49, it ran thru its boot up drill, CAT & DAX invoked to the tray as did SDR. No SDR window in the computer monitor(s), what the heck! Ran the mouse over the SDR icon in the tray and it shows SDR window as there but with a black screen, no data at all, no waterfall, slices, etc, nothing, blank. Computer restart, no joy, radio full reset no joy, uninstall SSDR 2.49 and reinstall (follwing FR directions) no joy. Invoked WSJT-X, signals  there and decodes, JS8 same thing, change bands works, I can hear signals from powered speakers just fine. Flex Control works ok also.
Windows 10 did an update a few days ago, not sure if I tried radio after that.
Unless someone has an idea I guess I will wait until Monday and see what FRS says.
As a rant this seems to be happening more and more and am about ready to throw in the towel.
Rant off.
Tnx if u have a clue

    It sounds like a computer problem, not a radio problem...there are some really good people on here that can help you if they are around, I hope one of them will chime in. It could be the windows update? hang in there....

    I saw something like this once. SSDR was running off screen somehow. To fix it I hovered over the little preview window and right clicked and selected "Move". Then I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to bring it back into view. YMMV.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
