Dx4000 and Win10 Launchpad fail

Hi everyone.

A few days ago, my Windows10 doesn’t open the “Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Launchpad”. I can’t login, so I can’ access to the WD.
When I click on the Launchpad.exe the program never starts.

As anyone had this problem already?
I already have Windows since August 2015 and the WD always worked fine.

I already reeinstal the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 connector and the problem remains.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks all

Windows 10 upgrades may break it, but

a reinstall should fix it
log files are in the hidden folder
c:\programdata\microsoft\windows server\logs

Hi Gramps.

Already reinstall it and the problem remains! Nothing I do, fix the problem.

Anyother sugestions?

Oh :slightly_smiling:
look in the task tray for the green house, right click > open launchpad

Hi Gramps and Tiago,

I had a similar problem (Launchpad stopped working after the W10 upgrade). Also:
-Launchpad would not work from Start/all apps exe button.
-Reinstalling the connector would not work.
-No “green house” in my task bar/tray.

However, the instruction about renaming the Launchpad folder solved the problem in my computer, as per the following link:

Whilst the above is for 2011 Servers, it worked on my DX4000 which runs on Win 2008 R2 software.

Hope this helps.
