Ok. xlaunch is still on the list in [1] and it has worked fine for me until these problems started. It seems likely that this is something that happened in the recent Win10 upgrade. But the problem is figuring out what, since there isn't much in the way of error messages. :-) > The simplest way to run the X server is using 'XWin' at a command line. > Does that work?
