VCP Disapears <resolved, don't use tablet mode>

Post by machfab »

When I switch to tablet mode on Windows 10, the VCP hides behind the main screen. Is this a Windows issue? How to resolve?
Thanks in advance.

CNC12 has not been tested in Tablet mode. It sounds very much like a Windows, as in tablet mode it tries to only show one "app" at a time and is getting confused with the VCP. There might be workarounds but running in tablet mode is not currently something supported.

Just out of curiosity: Why do you want to run CNC12 in Tablet Mode?

Does your PC meet these requirements?
https://www.centroidcnc.com/cnc_pc_perf ... ments.html
Display must be 1080P

Not advisable to use a tablet or a notebook. Many use Intel NUC, Lenovo Tiny PC's etc meeting the minimum system requirements.
