      @airart there is always a log

      in the users home folder .npm/logs

      I will recheck my windows env too

      npm install --loglevel verbose

      should write a file in the local folder

      npm-debug.log

      when I start my MM i get

      C:\Users\sdetw\MagicMirror>npm start
      
      > magicmirror@2.15.0 start C:\Users\sdetw\MagicMirror
      > electron js/electron.js
      
      
      [28.05.2021 09:25.27.486] [LOG]   Starting MagicMirror: v2.15.0

        @sdetweil i try to find this .log but no one is generating … i search in all of my hdd …
        when i type npm start

        C:\Users\gizmo\MagicMirror>npm start
        
        > magicmirror@2.15.0 start
        > node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js
        
        "node_modules" non è riconosciuto come comando interno o esterno,
         un programma eseguibile o un file batch.
        
        

        and there’s no electron js FOLDER in .bin FOLDER

                              @airart i don’t understand, I installed on windows 10 without trouble… but it was npm v6.

                              I just installed and used npm 7.14…

                              I had to use the full path to electron

                              here is my package.json start line

                              "start": "/Users/sdetw/MagicMirror/node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",
                              

                              this is due to a change in npm… my prior instance will not start now without the full path

                                this is because npm 7.14 is trying to launch from the MagicMirror folder instead of the module folder…

                                    @airart yes,

                                    npm install -g npm@6.14.0

                                    after this completes

                                    cd MagicMirror
                                    rd /s/q node_modules
                                    npm install

                                          @sdetweil it works ! I am so moved, evidently that was the problem.
                                          Does CMD remain active how do I leave the MM? fn + f11 reduces to window
                                          I also noticed some warnings
