Try rebooting your system

I have found that sometimes that is what it takes to get some modules to work after first install, and load and not working.

Yeah, this solved it. Thanks again! Rebooting was always my goto with Microsoft stuff but I got spoiled with Linux…

@striiker - In the future, you may be able to get away with merely restarting the MagicMirror process. If you’re using pm2 with a default installation, it’s just pm2 restart MagicMirror.

I’ve tried the reload/restart of MagicMirror. It doesn’t always work. I have been finding since this last update, that most of the time it requires a restart of the system.

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion however I have a cron job which restarts MagicMirror every 5 hours. I do this because of the persistent issue of having something in Magic Mirror crashing, causing it to stop refreshing and leaving me at a black screen. The only way to solve it is to manually reload or restart Magic Mirror. So, while I was experiencing this issue, the system had restarted MagicMirror several times. As mentioned by @justjim1220 , the solution was to reboot.
