      @Mykle1 I tried the alt key but nothing happened. The Windows key won’t pull down the menu either.

        @j.e.f.f I usually use VNC Connect to connect to it remotely, but since I moved into a new house it isn’t connected to the new wifi so it won’t work.

                @nickymac12 is SSH enabled? if so try to connect that way. That will allow you to check MM’s logs

                  I am able to connect via SSH now. How do I check the MM’s logs?

                      @nickymac12 Also, at this point, you can start disabling modules one by one until MM starts. That should help you figure out the culprit.

                        @j.e.f.f all it responded with was
                        “Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/pi/.pm2”
