 @sdetweil i did. Now i’ve upgraded to windows 8.1. still a black screen but a new error``` 
 [0110/062053.181:ERROR:_trace_logging_minimal.win.cc<78>] provider resistration failure

 @dude31222 I don’t know. those are so far out of service…

 Heyo! 
 I’ve done a fresh install of MM2 (on Win10), and now I’m struggling with the blank electron screen.I did the vendor and font install, changed the package.json to "start":"node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js",according to the guide on page 15, and now I’m getting bash: line 1: node_modules.binelectron: command not foundon npm start, doesn’t start up MM. 
- 
 @Reila you did not do the package.json edit correctly. windows uses slashes leaning left and u need 2 in each place node-modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js

 @sdetweil 
 Oh, I just copied as it was! It might have been a different guide, it was old after all… I see the backward slashes in a later post now.So now I tried "start": "node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",(with both the double and single space, just in case) and it’s giving me the same error still. 
 I tested changing the start-dev variant too.
 I must be missing another step still.
- 
 @Reila I am away from my system at the moment be back in an hour or so. what does npm -v say? 
- 
 @sdetweil No problem! Browser version works fine for tinkering in the meantime :) npm is 8.17.0 
- 
 @Reila hm… this is what mine is set to "start": "node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js",and I don’t get any errors, but electron starts full screen, black screen but if I open edge and go to localhost:8080 it looks great and if I open electron 
 (the 1st part, node_modules\.bin\electron) and go to http://localhost:8080
 it works…
