    When I click on the icon to start ASTAP, all that happens is the icon shows up on the taskbar but there is no program window. The window is not hidden and the task manager shows 0% for the app process. What could be causing the app not to start properly? I already uninstalled and reinstalled, no change. Running in compatibility mode and admin, no change. Running 2015 MPB 15" Retina Bootcamp Windows 10 Pro latest updates installed. Just recently updated to ASCOM 6.5.

    I understand it is fixed. :)

    Maybe the ASTAP window is shifted outside your screen. Delete the settings file astap.cfg in

    %LocalAppData%\astap

    You can copy above path in file explorer

    and try to start ASTAP again.

    Hello,
    I have the exact same problem.
    Windows is not shifted outside the screen, and I've tried reinstall the program. Deleted also the astap.cfg.
    But nothing show up.
    Can you help me ?
    Thanks

    Edit: I've found the fix. Close the program then edit the astap.cfg.
    In my case I've changed window_left=-1297 to window_left=0
