Same thing happening to me, it only fixes when i restart my computer. Studio works fully functional but the screen doesnt render or show up.

Thank you for posting this, I have been having the same problem and have been using windowed studio to moving the window around to see things.

Hi @RefusalMan , the bug report format calls for OS/device information and privately providing your log files via the @bug-files inbox, could you please edit this information in?

I encourage you to look at How to post a Bug Report for other hints on how to complete your bug report.

Many thanks!

This happens to me and I have to restart studio. Hope this gets fixed soon, this is not very timely for my programming deadlines

[Deadwoodx]

Same, I am unable to test my experiences because of this, I need to open output and close it, in order to remove it

[Deadwoodx]

This even happens to me:

PC Details
Device Type: Laptop
RAM: 8 GB RAM
OS: Windows 11 Home
Screen size: 15 inch
Processor: Intel i5
Graphics card: Nvida 2GB M450

Also my studio is using old icons and old ui

[RefusalMan]

Yeah, literally so free, like a .Changed on the window to remove a grey screen at random???

[Hooksmith]

Thanks @Deadwoodx for providing system details.

@RefusalMan Your bug report still does not follow the bug reporting format – please append OS information and relevant log files, then our team can start investigating. You can send the log files separately to @bug-files and link the message in your thread.

there actually is a way to fix this without having to totally close Studio. i still experience this bug almost every single test-run, but to make it go away, simply hide the output and then unhide it. idk y it works, but it does.

Just to note, some reports of this are also on this thread:

Windows incorrectly docking in Studio, malformed windows

Reproduction Steps I don’t know what caused it, but every time I go on studio now I see studio with a black screen for the world view and the world view in a separate window. [image] [image] It’s extremely frustrating and I can barely develop with this. Expected Behavior It should dock as normal in the center. Actual Behavior The window appears at the top left of the screen. The tab however stays the same place. Issue Area: Studio Issue Type: Display Impact: Very H…

Hi @CrazyAlternetive, we have a potential fix for this problem, but it requires resetting of your layout. Please take a look at the link below for instructions on how to reset your layout:

(Post with video on resetting your layout)

@ElephantMesh

FYI: For this specific bug, thanks to the countless hours spent by our community, we have narrowed it down to having several sessions running along with floating widgets. You can effectively avoid it if you do not end a session with a floating widget, or only run one session of Roblox Studio at once.

@SubtotalAnt8185

If anyone here is still having issues, delete the registry key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Roblox\RobloxStudio\LayoutSettings in regedit . This will reset your studio layout and will most likely fix the problem.

The problems on both of these threads started at the same time and have to do with messed up docking and floating windows, so I suspect those fixes might solve your guys’ problem.

[Rekotora3349 (Re_koFromSlovakia)]

Oh, this happened to me 6 - times!

The solution is, reinstall your studio.

[MonkeyBoy5555555 (Astro)]

Interestingly, When this happens to me It appears on my Second monitor.

[savio14562 (savio14563)]

Happens to me too sometimes. Switching from Client view to Server view and back to Client view fixes the issue for me if it occurs when running the game.

[MRKYLO20 (KrispyKachowsMan93)]

I can confirm this happens to me, this will happen from time to time when I test and don’t have my mouse hovering over the main screen as I go into testing, or I start moving my mouse while beginning to test.

[Claym1x (Emma)]

This works, but then it just goes to a black screen for me and I can’t do anything further.

I have tried exiting, minimizing, toggling full screen, moving things around, etc and it still does not go away.

(Edit, reinstalling studio fixed the issue!)
