After running the 2015 Version of YS last night, I went back to my 2012 version to fly today. Oddly, YS would start up, but the window would never appear. I would get the typical aircraft error I usually do, but the window is not there. The task-bar shows an open session and even shows a preview of the screen, but no window. Kujo had the same issue, and his only fix was to run on the user administrator account. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am an accountant working full-time (and some). I'm not here as often as I would like to be. Send a message if you need me. There are a few people in the community who can get in contact with me urgently if you need - don't be afraid to ask. I just don't check here as frequently as I used to. Sorry!

If one is currently using the built-in Administrator account on their PC, this problem may not occur in the first place. I've had the 2015 version of YS since a month or two after it was released and I have yet to experience this problem with YS on Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 by using the built-in Admin account.

I wonder, can this problem be resolved by setting all YS executables to run in "compatibility" mode, with "run as administrator" checked? ie: force admin privileges?
