Version, OS and Environment

  • Application Version: 6.2.0

Additional context maybe the reason is because i disabled the taskbar view in copyq settings, but i can't go back anymore. I tried to uninstall everything, reboot, but nothing worked out

After changing a lot of setting you need to stop and restart copyq for them to apply. Also "everything" is a bit vague but settings are not uninstalled with the program.

The application should be also available from tray, unless you disabled that too.

Otherwise try to launch the app from powershell with enabled logging: https://copyq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-to-enable-logging

From powershell console you can also try to reenable the taskbar entry or tray:

& 'C:\Program Files (X86)\CopyQ\copyq.exe' config hide_main_window_in_task_bar false
& 'C:\Program Files (X86)\CopyQ\copyq.exe' config hide_main_window false
& 'C:\Program Files (X86)\CopyQ\copyq.exe' config disable_tray false
