<![CDATA[Noob problem: updated config file not showing changes in the application]]>Hi Everyone,

I am an excited new user of MagicMirror but I am also a beginner. I have been able to get MM installed on my Windows Machine and successfully launched!

However, I am running into issue with editing the config file. I use a text editor to make edits, run the config check to make sure there are no syntax errors, but when I launch the application, it shows the outputs from the original config file rather than the edits I have made to that same file.

What am I doing wrong?

All help much appreciated.

Thanks

Jon

How embarrassing! I am away to the races now though :)

Thanks so much for the rapid response.

and the messages from npm start

you ARE editing config.js, right
after you created it by copying the sample
