V/G icons dont open any options

[yeshaya23]

V/G Icons wont work anywhere with or without a template not matter if I use a shortcut or if I click any icon
this is a problem with all of my revit version 2023-2025.

Does your firm use Guardian?

[yeshaya23]

No we don't have anything that should interfere. The only recent change I can consider is downloading TeamViewer but I've been using it together with Revit for over a decade.

Also FYI I have 3 hard drives installed and Revit is installed on the 2nd slot

It happens everywhere??? I thinking hardware then. Maybe Graphics Card.  

[yeshaya23]

Yes everywhere. I tried uninstalling 2024 and reinstalling, same problem. I tried installing 2025, same issue. Im thinking now I should check my Nvidia settings.

btw I have i9-13900k+4090 rtx

[yeshaya23]

Still no progress. I am now uninstalling everything autodesk from my pc and try installing from scratch

[yeshaya23]

this also did nothing

System Specs?  

[barthbradley]

Let's confirm. You have NO access to View Visibility and Graphic Overrides in any Project.  Right?

Right, I also can't manage links or open the options tab from the R icon in the top left.

Pop-up blocker?

I don't have anything like that on my desktop. Just adblocker in chrome

I would double check that. Maybe open in safe mode to be sure. With multiple dialog boxes not opening, I'm leaning towards something blocking ceratin windows from opening.

[barthbradley]

Could be a Win 11 compatibility issue. Open a support ticket on this through your autodesk.manage.com portal.  Let us know what they say.  

[yeshaya23]

I booted to safe mode but the identity manager didn't work to start Revit. What else should I check in safe mode

Shouldn't interfere remains to be determined, no? 🙂 What add-ins for Revit are installed on your PC? If you have any at all, try removing them from the add-in folder temporarily and run Revit afterward so it can't find/run them.

Usually here: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\

Sometimes here: C:\%YourUSERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\ or C:\%USERNAME%

[yeshaya23]

I currently have no addins enabled. But my device manager I found I can't open properties tab from anything so it must be a windows 11 issue. I'm currently backing everything up and will revert back to windows 10

[SteveKStafford]

Aah, well that at least helps you know it's not isolated to Revit. Good luck! Before you bail out on 11, see if there are any new application barriers or options/settings it might have that can block users from certain tasks.

[yeshaya23]

I've been trying to check for those types of things but with no luck. I tried disabling thr firewall but no diffence.

Where else can I look?
