Try deleting the LaunchBox\Themes folder, and restart Big Box, just in case somehow something got messed up with the theme.

Unfortunately, it didn't solve the issue.  It still persists.  I wonder if there is a Windows setting associated with the font used for the search box?

I thought about that, but the font is the same font that is used elsewhere, so that doesn't make much sense either. Then again nothing makes sense. Did a Windows update just install or something? Are you on the Windows 10 accelerated updates for beta testers?

I just tested on my system with the Default theme and same startup video, and I can't replicate it either. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going insane. How long have you been using Big Box without this issue?

Just in case it is somehow data or settings-related, feel free to zip up and PM me your LaunchBox\Data folder. I can test with that to rule it out.

Thanks for going far and beyond with this.  I will PM you my zipped data folder.  Please stand by.

Hmm, the image you uploaded is 960x540. Is that the actual resolution you're running? That is a bit of an odd resolution, so I suppose it could be related to that somehow. Did you change resolutions recently? Can you try upping the resolution?

Oh no.  I use 1920 x 1080 but for the uploaded pic, i simply used good 'ol WIndows Paint to shrink the image.

Here's a new pic.

Wow, turns out I *can* replicate it with your data. Unexpected, but may be related to using All Games as your startup view. I've noticed that it works fine if you go to View All Games from the menu. I'm surprised no one has ever reported that before though lol; there may be something else involved with your data that causes it.

Anyways, sorry for the trouble, and thanks for following through with all of this. Now that I can replicate it, I'll figure out exactly what's causing it and get a fix in place for it, hopefully early next week. :)

Super Super.  Thanks for all your help.  I'm patient and will standby.  Launchbox ROCKS!

I know this is an old thread but it wasn't solved, the fix is to turn the Big Box splash screen back on. I don't understand how this causes the issue but it does.

Thanks for this clue. We were running around all over the place with this issue and never could figure out what was causing it, but I finally have it fixed for the next beta now. :)

Your welcome, I went through the BigBoxsettings.xml file, changing practically line by line then running bigbox until I replicated it. My license has expired but I'm happy I could help!
