Topic: My buddies don't work on a couple of my computers

[minimarshs]

I don't know where else to ask:

Everything works fine on my W10 PC.  Nothing works on my W10 laptop or my W11 Laptop.  Why do I have so many?  I work from home and have a couple of assistants.  Anyway, the issue started two days ago.  The buddy will resize the playing field, and then nothing.  You can see the cursor clicking on the game, but nothing happens.  And the browsers of preference are Edge (ugh) and Chrome. 

Any ideas please?

Have you installed anything on those 2 laptops recently?

I unfortunately don't have a laptop to test it on, so I'm not sure what to suggest - except submit a bug report on those laptops.

[minimarshs]

Nothing new has been installed. 

I hate to say this, but I have submitted bug reports in the past with other issues, and not heard back.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I gave your problem some thought and unfortunately can't think of anything.  Have you uninstalled and reinstalled?  You seem savvy so it's probably a silly question.

[minimarshs]

LOL - not so savvy, but I have seen things.  Install and reinstall the Buddy App?  Or something else?
I wish I could uninstall Edge, or at least stop it from popping up every time I wake up the computer.  Chrome is my default, and I don't like having all the "advantages" of Edge and Bing shoved at me all the time.  Sorry, I digress.

Yes, I would try uninstalling the PlayBuddy auto loader and all remnants.  I would clean my system (CCleaner?) and reboot.  I would try re-installing the autoloader.  If you hate Edge, why don't you uninstall that, too?  I find it valuable to have more than one browser on my system so I would replace it with something else (Opera?, Firefox?  Konqueror?  Netscape? Just kidding, Internet Explorer?  Still joking).  Please let us know how it goes.

It is impossible to uninstall Edge, unless I do a deep dive into all kinds of places on the computer where I have no business going.
I have several browsers now, Opera and Avast and Firefox and Chrome.  And icky Edge.  haha Netscape.
I will try uninstalling the Buddy app.
Thanks.

[Mayhem]

Yeah, try that and let us know how it goes.

Reporting in:  the Uninstall / Reinstall was successful on the W10.  I will give that a second chance tomorrow.  I am a tiny bit frustrated and mystified.  This is just so weird.
Thanks for all the help and encouragement.

Ok, progress is good!  I presume that was the W10 laptop.  After you uninstall the PB on the W11 laptop and do a system cleanse, see if there are any W11 updates, then try reinstalling PB.  Just thinkin' out loud here...

Good luck.

I'm glad to hear you got it working on one of your laptops!
