v0.17.1 Beta App Launch w/ Windows x64

[Kryptopher40]

Yesterday, after upgrading to 0.17.1 Beta when launching app it would be in stretched like format. If I double click the top tab bar of window it would minimize to correct screen size/resolution and work as expected.

Today, when I click the icon in tab bar it appears to launch, but doesn't. If I switch between virtual desktops (alt + tab) then I can see the app as if it's open, but can't access it. Task manager shows the app is running.

I've rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled, disconnected external monitor, plugged it back in, etc...without resolving. I'm running Windows 11.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! TY

Go to your file explorer -> clear the address # bar / file path bar -> copy ℅appdata℅ and paste it. -> if this works then ur in the appdata folder... Locate Freetube folder -> if you've located the folder you can find then file in the root path.

I did it, but I get a pop up from File Explorer: "Windows can't find ℅appdata℅ . Check spelling and try again." I have the icon pinned to the taskbar and I verified it's downloaded/installed. I used the .exe download, perhaps I need to use the .zip? Sorry for my tech illiteracy!

Try %appdata% i think its throwing an error because i used the wrong % sign

That worked! It took me a few tries to figure it out because in Notepad++, I deleted the entire line instead of specifically just "_id":"bounds". Instantly, I got a popup JavaScript error. So I uninstalled/reinstalled FT, added the entire line back in Notepad++, deleted just "_id":"bounds" (as the tutorial literally says) saved and restarted the app. It works! Thanks again!
