Hi, and sorry for the late reply — and thank you for the detailed report.

From what you described (the process visible in Task Manager but no UI or taskbar window), this issue can occur on Windows 11 with Flutter-based apps. A few things are worth checking:

0. First, check if the app is minimized to the system tray

RcloneView can minimize itself to the tray depending on the previous session state.

Please look for the RcloneView icon near the clock (you may need to click the “Show hidden icons” arrow ▲).

If it’s there, right-click and choose Restore.

Now for the others:

1. The window may be opening off-screen

This can happen after monitor changes or Windows layout resets.

  • Press Alt + Tab to see if the window exists but is invisible.
  • Press Win + Arrow keys to snap the window back into view.
  • If using multiple monitors, try temporarily disconnecting a secondary monitor and relaunching.

2. Restore the window manually

Even without seeing it:

  1. Press Alt + Space
  2. Press M (Move)
  3. Use arrow keys to bring it back onto the screen.This works even when the window is completely off the desktop.

3. Make sure no stale processes exist

End all RcloneView.exe processes in Task Manager, then restart.

If the issue still happens

Please let us know your:

  • Windows 11 build
  • GPU model
  • Monitor count / recent layout changes

This will help us determine whether it’s a Flutter-Windows rendering issue or something else.

Thanks again for reporting this — and for your patience.

Thank you.

  1. No, it doesn’t appear in the tray
  2. I have one monitor, no virtual monitors, and it doesn’t appear to be offscreen. It doesn’t appear in the task bar either.
  3. No results
  4. Quit RClone View in the task manager (there is only the one process running)

So, nothing worked.

Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 24H2
OS build 26100.7462
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.275.0
GPU NVidia GeForce RTX 4090, Studio Driver 572.16

Please note, because of work-related considerations, I’m reluctant to upgrade GPU drivers to solve this arcane, 3rd-party app issue.

Hi, I’m having the same problem since a few days - before, it worked great.
I did uninstall / restart / new install but nothing helps.
The process is starting upon system start and can be seen in the process manager but nowhere else.
Since I also tried to install netdrive - but got the same result, I fear it’s the premisses to the end of W10 support ?
Edit 1 : Upon launching RCloneView, I get a message about conflict with “Always on top” (Windows-Power-Tools)
I’m still under w10 professional ; version 22H2 ; Built 19045.7807
Thank you for further help
