Blank drawing name in Project Manager

[Thomasbatson]

I have a strange issue, the project manager is not showing my drawing names.  If I open a drawing it shows correctly in the tab and as seen in the snip below I opened the WDP in notepad and it shows the drawing names.  I have tried restarting and deleting the temporary project .MDB file to let it rebuild.  I have also tried removing the drawings from the project manager and adding them again.  This is ACADE 2016  I am not sure what could cause this issue.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Hopefully besides re-installing.  Thank you

My first thought is that Windows has updated something, maybe some .NET thingy that this control uses.
Can you check the windows update history, and see if there's something there you can uninstall?

My update history doesn't show anything before today.  After this started my IT guy asked me to make sure all updates were installed so I did that today, otherwise windows updates we from a little while ago but was working perfect yesterday.  Our IT guy is also trying to figure out if it's a windows thing.  Thank you.

Sounds like it could be several things, so lets go with the simple one first...

Have you checked your Drawing List Display Options?

Open the project manager and go along the buttons along the top.

The one that looks like a page with lines on it is the one you want.

When you get the dialog box, you should have to boxes with varying items in them.

On the left you have the Display Options available.

In the right are the currently selected options.

My guess is that something got changed and cleared the right box of all options.

At a minimum, you need the File Name in the right hand box

Before I saw the last post we just reinstalled so I could keep going.  It sounds like the drawing list may have been changed, this is a custom install we have on a dedicated machine that we all can use but I didn't check that before we did the reinstall.  Thank you both for the recommendations to check.
