Is there a way to run the PC Tuner without going through the whole upgrade setup routine (copying files, Wizard Util., etc.)?

not sure i under stand your question. but, yes, the PC Tuner is a independant program. to run it you simply download, install, and click on the icon to run it. can be run at any time. either before or after cnc12 is installed. its ok to run the PC tuner. Before is preferred but if you already have CNC12 installed its ok to run the PC turner at any time.

Any reason why I can not scroll the CNC PC Tuner page up and down? I can not select the "Click to Run All Windows Settings and PC Checks" button at the bottom.

If you can't get to the button at the bottom of the PC Tuner, you may need to change the scaling percentage down in display settings. In its current state, the PC Tuner really only works with a certain resolution and it does get a little funky with resolution scaling.

fyi...The Centroid CNC PC Tuner App v1.1 is now live on the Centroid software downloads page.

https://www.centroidcnc.com/centroid_di ... loads.html

and we added a link to TB309 since it has been significantly changed to complement the PC Tuner as well as give instructions to do PC setup by hand.

The PC Tuner correctly identifies my Screen Resolution at 1920x1080.

Which is the recommended screen resolution, according to this:
https://www.centroidcnc.com/cnc_pc_perf ... ments.html
6.) When using Centroid's Virtual Control Panel (VCP) a 1920x1080 LCD monitor. 1920x1080 (HD) is preferred...
But the app window is too big, and makes it impossible to interact with the buttons.

Update, this was caused by the Zoom level being not set to 100% on my computer.

Do you have setup a zoom level in Windows?

Ah, you're right. Good point, and that makes much more sense now! Happy to see that it was my fault :)

Thanks :)
