@sdetweil Hey Sam it’s not a black screen just modules show as undefined…like weather, news and components all other modules show

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti where did u install the extra modules?

open a Windows cmd.exe session and do all the commands there…

i don’t know what “don’t show” means

did u edit the config.js

only a vew modules don’t work on Windows (snowboy voice driven for example)
