Tried so far:

1. Remove all addons

2. Reset UI

3. This article (which does not apply to 2024): https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Dynamo-Player-is-g...

4. Other versions of Revit work fine.

Hi @Basam.Yousif Dynamo Player window position can be on a screen that is no longer connected. Can you please check the steps from this article to bring it back?

To check if Dynamo Player installation was successful, please go to Steel tab and click on Connection Automation button in the ribbon. This will open a Dynamo Player window with several connection automation scrips.

Thank you!

We solved the issue by reinstalling Revit (which we only do as last resort) because Revit can often be difficult to re-install.

The issue was not with finding the window. The 'player' was not available from the start. So, it was not being loaded into Revit from the beginning. We did find two other AKN articles that also did not help:

https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Dynamo-Player-will...

I did mark your answer as a solution because of the possibility of the 'Connection Automation' would have given us more insight, or possibly solved the issue.

Your help is appreciated 🙂
