SCIA seems to freeze when executing of loading a command

It is possible that SCIA freezes while trying to execute a command, however it does not crash.

This might indicate an issue concerning the graphical user interface (GUI) in which that particular window opens on a screen which is not connected to your computer. This problem can be linked to the Windows 10 'Hidden Windows' properties and mostly happens when changing the screen configuration, for example linking the laptop to a projector or to an external screen, ...

In order to resolve this problem, several options are possible.

Option 1: you can execute the key combination 'windows + shift + arrows' in order to display the invisible window. It might be possible that these key combinations need to be repeated several times in order to complete this procedure.

Option 2: when the first option does not resolve the issue, it might be necessary to reset the graphical user interface. This can be executed by using the following procedure:

• Go to 'Setup' in the toolbar and open the item 'Options';



• Navigate to the tab 'Environment' and activate the option 'Reset GUI';



• Restart SCIA
