[bug] Windows GUI window does not appear. about dogecoin

[gdayymate]

I'm running my displays using Intel ARC.

The arguments you provided for DOGE opened the loading screen in a cute little window but did not present the wallet UI as intended.

I found a work-around for the time-being by right-clicking Doge in task-bar and selecting maximize. Without doing this, the wallet does not present itself anywhere within windows.

Questions to triage:

1. Which version of Windows are you using?
2. What does the bottom of %APPDATA%\Dogecoin\debug.log say?

Edition Windows 11 Home

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22687.1000.0

2: shows server is working, and i can access the debug window in core... just not the coupled wallet gui

Okay, this sounds like something we've seen in the past with specific graphics drivers, but we've not seen it outside of Linux to my knowledge.

Could you try to, on the command line, cd to wherever your Dogecoin-QT.exe resides, and do the following:

set QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1
set QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0
Dogecoin-Qt.exe

Alright, this narrows down the issue, thanks. This issue may very well go away when we update Qt, but it would be good if we can isolate the cause regardless.
