@dstoianovici yes,if some other app is using 8080 then u have to change it… mine is on 8086. 8080-8085 are in use

It should probably be easy, but I can’t seem to find it. What is the command I can use to start MM on Windows 10 startup?

Thanks for a great guide, got me up and running quickly. Can you guide me where do I insert the commands to rotate the display to portrait mode?

@Mykle1 Many thanks for this description!

Just got it run under Windows 7. That will help to play and learn how to get own modules :nerd_face:

Two questions I have.
My MM is version 2.6.0. I planned to run updatescript from @sdetweil but failed. Yahe you any idea?

Is there an option to run MM in a window being able to shrink and move over the desktop?

@bdream come talk in the Updated Installer topic

@bdream F11 will take a window from full screen to not

Your F11 key should toggle between full screen MM and MM in a window

Mykle1

Damn Sam, you’re just too fast!

F11 seems to be a got hint, even it comes from @Mykle1 or @sdetweil.

Will try it this evening - thanks!

For me setup running MagicMirror on Windows 10 worked by:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "./run-start.sh",

to:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "bash ./run-start.sh",

Simple change, works in every location on my PC.
