  Hi Community!
  
  I'm using Ansys Workbench Student 2024 R1 on my Laptop with Windows 10 Home, Intell i7 7gen processos and Nvidia GTX1650 Mobile with standard configurations.
  
  The context :I need to code some small APDL code in Ansys Workbench Mechanical module by adding an APDL script to my analysis to fix the position of a section of a part after a deformation.
  
  The problem : When I apply a new APDL Script in mechanical, the command window to write my script does not show up and I can not write, copy or do anything in the command window. I only see a blank page and sometimes, just the 3D model in the back (See Figure 1). Materials properties in the mechanical tree does not show up either. (see figure 2 and figure 3). My Windows machine is regularly and automatically updated.
  Note that I didn't have this issue when I first installed Ansys 2024 R1 on my laptop a few months ago. The problem appeared a few days ago. I tried to find a solution on the Ansys forums, YouTube and even reinstalled Ansys, but nothing works.
  
  I am currently unable to find a solution to this problems, thus why I'm writing to today.
  
  Thank you in advance for your answer and have a good day!
