Blank or missing icons in function / control palette.

[krainrpmt]

Hi, I just started using LabVIEW community version 2025. Yesterday I created a project and everything was working fine, I was able to write some code to control a motor and read value from a load cell. Today I reopened the project to continue working but the function palette is blank, no icons or whatever. When I dragged the empty window to enlarge it, it results in a graphical glitch. The code is still working, I can hit run and read date from sensors, I can still control my motor, but I can't open the palette to create a new function. You can see what I meant in the attached screenshots.

Should I try repairing or uninstalling LabVIEW? please help me, thank you.

Repairing all modules doesn't work either. I will attempt reinstalling.

Reinstalling the software doesn't fix it. I don't know what to do now.

Anyway, I found the solution! You have to go to tools -> advanced -> Edit Palette Set.. -> Restore the default and that's it! Even though I changed nothing beforehand...

That's very strange.  I'm glad you fixed it, but I've never seen that happen.  I've messed up my palettes pretty bad in the past trying to add/modify them, but all I got were a few palettes showing a question mark.

Slick move - seriously.  If all else fails, reset to defaults.
