          So I’m not sure what’s going on with mine because it won’t autostart. I did all the changes suggested and below is a copy straight out of the MagicMirror/js/electron.js file.

          I’ve restarted it many times.

          Before I edited it it had everything there except

          'autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required'
          

          was

          "autoplay-policy", "no-user-gesture-required"
          
          let mainWindow;
          
          function createWindow() {
              app.commandLine.appendSwitch('autoplay-policy', 'no-user-gesture-required');  //< -------- added
                  var electronOptionsDefaults = {
                          width: 800,
                          height: 600,
                          x: 0,
                          y: 0,
                          darkTheme: true,
                          webPreferences: {
                                  nodeIntegration: false,
                                  zoomFactor: config.zoom
                          },
                          backgroundColor: "#000000"
                  };

            @Darkmx-6 can you open the developers window, using ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled console at the top of that window, and scroll up to see any info, or errors…

            u can also filter for just messages from a single module by putting part of the module name in the filter entryfield

              Sure, I can do that, but is there a way to do that through the console? To physically access the pi I have to climb a ladder. I’m going to do that now but it would be awesome if I don’t have to next time.

                    yeah, it does nothing… is there a way to access it with the mouse?

                    My Keyboard is connected and working because I can quit magic mirror with the keyboard.

                      @Darkmx-6 all three keys together, ctrl-shift and the letter i (as in Initial)
