No matter what I do, I cannot get the file selection window working. I tried reloading CFX and rebooting the computer.  I can open an existing .cfx file by double clicking the file, but the same issue occurs when I try to import a new mesh.  My CFX installation was working fine last week.  How can I fix this?","link":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/forums\/topic\/i-have-encountered-a-weird-cfx-pre-issue-whenever-i-open-a-file-i-was-trying-to-open-an-existing-cfx-file-the-file-selection-window-does-not-pop-up-but-moving-my-cursor-to-the-taskbar-i-can-see\/"}],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["3\/15\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["153867"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_btv_view_count":["2743"],"siebel_km_number":["2067547"],"product_version":["2022 R1"],"km_published_date":["2022-04-05T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Installation\/Licensing\/Systems"],"application_name":["CFX - SYS"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/165644\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
