Does the actual GUI go blank too or just the windows taskbar preview? I think taskbar previews go blank sometimes when windows explorer reloads stuff. If that's the case, it should appear when you restore the window.

The whole Bitcoin QT is not working! If I click on the Bitcoin Icon in Taskbar nothing happens.

Again & Again :(

Can you tell us what Bitcoin Core version you are using? You you pastebin your debug.log somewhere and post the link here?

I got a problem unrelated to core similar in the past. I am shooting in the dark here, but can you try to run services.msc and restart the service named "Windows Font Cache Service"?

Hey,

No Font Cache Service didn't worked for me. I am using Bitcoin Core 0.14.2, 0.14.1 worked for me, but 0.14.2 not.

My debug.log is in the Attachment.

Thanks. debug.txt

I've just upgraded to 14.2 on windows10 64bit and everything is working fine. The issue raiser has windows 7 but still thought this would be useful to mention. The title of the issue is generally speaking about windows.

It is on Windows 7.

Could you try the steps outlined in this comment: #11207 (comment) If that doesn't work, try running bitcoin-qt with the command line, and use the -resetguisettings flag

Hello guys,

This issue has been fixxed some weeks later, I compiled a wallet by my own after the final 0.14 release and then it worked for me.

This issue seems solved from 0.15 up :)

Regards.
