I have had my pin cab turned off for a while as I have been working on LED's installation, when turned on now Future pinball and VPX won't fully load tables, FP get to the end of the progress bar on the bottom and just stalls there, VPX progress bar gets to somewhere in the middle where is says loading scripts and just stalls there, I believe that while it was off or when I turned it back on that it did a windows update, even though I have that turned off in services and registry, anyway I tried to restore computer to earlier date but that didn't work, have a lot of time into this and hate to start over, I'm running windows 11 pro, if anyone had any ideas it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!!

 I tried to restore computer to earlier date but that didn't work, 

 

The Restore-Point thing inside Windows? Yeah, I've hardly ever seen that actually work, and sometimes just digs the hole even deeper ( preventing the simple fix you really needed).

 

Did it not get Shut-Down properly last time?

How is everything else working in Windows?

 

How does the Device Manager look?

- VPX Might not load properly if Video-Card, Sound-Card, or whatever are not right any more.

Did your Displays get re-numbered?

Anything in Reliability History Report?

Drive / Properties / Error-Check (maybe just picked-up some soft errors ?)

Read SMART status of drives

Sorry about double posting, I am new and thought I posted in the wrong section, I will try your suggestions, was doing some further reading in forums, some people with similar problems have had screen location issues, like windows moved screen location and order, is this something worth looking into?

 

Yes, Windows-11 issue like above, including your screens getting moved-around and/or re-numbered.

 

Do you remember what they looked like before in Settings/Displays?

For example, my three are lined-up in consecutive order, right up-against one-another, with their top edges all justified (like boxes floating in the water). Usually, the first large-one is the Primary.
