LabVIEW 2024Q3 dialogs not running when opening

[Mads]

A number of dialogs of in-built functions like e.g. Clear Object Cache, Profile Buffer Allocations etc. open when I select them, but they are not running. I can click on the run-button to get them to work, but why is this happening? I have seen this in 2022 as well, but now it also shows in LabVIEW 2024Q3.

I've never seen this before, it's very strange. I can't think of any reason this would happen other than something being corrupted in LabVIEW.exe itself or its resources files.

There is an option under Security tab to *not* run vi's when opened. Uncheck that and everything will go back to normal. 🤓

Hehe, I thought you were just joking @Frozen, but no - that actually fixed it.

I would expect internal functions to always be whitelisted...but there might be something corrupted in there as well, because when I changed the security setting to allow VIs to allow VIs to run when opened it gave an error:

It still had an effect (now the dialogs run when opened) though.

Opening the whitelist json-file also gave me an empty file.

Wow, I learned something new about LabVIEW. That definitely does *not* happen every day. 😉

Something else that doesn't happen every day: A declined idea got implemented.
