Simulation Player Dialogue Box

[Simon.CaiEWZQZ]

I built a dynamic simulation model and animated it with the simulation player dialoguebox. After I saved the model and opened it on the next day, I was not able to find the Simulation Player DialogueBox. The simulation player menu appeared disabled . I did not see that the dialoguebox was hidden somewhere.

Can anyone help how to get the Simulation Player DialogueBox back?

Thank you very much

Can you Attach your assembly here?

Can you post screen shots of what you do see?

When click the "Simulation Player", the dialogue box is supposed to pop up. However, no matter how I clicked it and minimize everything on graphic areas, I did not see the dialogue box

What version of Inventor are you using?  2022? 2023?

If you reboot the computer and then create a New simple two component assembly does the issue persist?

Are you using (or were you using) two monitors?

JD,
Thank you for reminding me.
I disconnected my laptop with my two monitors. rebooted my laptop computer. I open my model. The simulation player came back. I used professional 2017. this issue was caused very likely by using two monitors because only thing different I did is isolating my computer with two monitors.
Thank you again.
