MCC loading, but not displaying.
So, when I try to boot up the game, it runs, but it won't display on my screen. It's just on the taskbar while running in the background. I'm using a Windows computer. Can anyone help me?

There's a Windows issue where it runs the game in the background/taskbar. Try using alt+tab or the win+tab key to bring it forward. You can also go into your Computer Settings search "multitasking settings" in your Windows search bar and then under Virtual Desktops set both boxes to "All desktops." Something about the MCC makes Windows think it should run the MCC as a Virtual Desktop in the background.

Great tip!! :D

Also if you do not want to turn off your monitor, I found another fix as well! Hope you have a great day!! :)

1. Right click the game in your Steam Library
2. Click "Properties"
3. At the bottom of General, you should see "Advanced users may choose to enter modifications to their launch options."
4. Type "-windowed"
5. Enjoy MCC! :MCCHALO:
