      @nickymac12 are you able to connect remotely? over SSH? if so you might be able to check MM’s logs to see if anything went wrong

        @Mykle1 I tried the alt key but nothing happened. The Windows key won’t pull down the menu either.

          @j.e.f.f I usually use VNC Connect to connect to it remotely, but since I moved into a new house it isn’t connected to the new wifi so it won’t work.

            So the mirror has no internet connection?

            Create a working config
            How to add modules

                  @nickymac12 is SSH enabled? if so try to connect that way. That will allow you to check MM’s logs

                    I am able to connect via SSH now. How do I check the MM’s logs?

                        @nickymac12 Also, at this point, you can start disabling modules one by one until MM starts. That should help you figure out the culprit.
