Sorry, I thought I had responded this morning... I'm sorry for the frustration.

From the other post it sounds like the login dialog comes up, but you can not enter any information in it. Is that correct? You see something like below, but it's not letting you type anything in the fields?

If so, let's try a few things.  

1) Please add the line in bold below to C:\ProWin20\32bit\protax20.exe.config, exactly as shown below above the </appSettings> line.  (If you are using Basic it will be C:\BasWin20\32bit\protax20.exe.config)

<appSettings>
<add key="Intuit.TPS.Information" value="TpsBridge-5.13.1" />
<add key="log4net.Config" value="log4net.config" />
<add key="log4net.Config.Watch" value="True" />
<add key="Intuit.Spc.Authorization.EmbeddedWebBrowserImplementation" value="Standard"/>

</appSettings>

Then restart ProSeries. This will switch the technology used to show the login screen. If it works, we'll know it's a problem with the default technology we are using. I will have some followup questions if so, to help figure out why it's happening.

2) If you are comfortable searching for a hidden file, please send C:\Users\ocardoso\AppData\Local\Intuit\Common\Authorization\v3\Logs\IntuitAuthLog.txt to proseries_engineering@intuit.com.  That might help us troubleshoot.

Hi Orlando this fix is above what I know how to do. Will ProSeries come out with a fix that we can all use.?

We're trying to figure out a fix in time for our December 16th release. It seems specific to TouchScreen laptops and a component from another company... so we are evaluating options.

Short term we will train agents to walk you through the work-around. I'd suggest calling in on Tuesday (so we can train on Monday).

If you'd like to self serve...

1. Open C:\BasWin20\32bit\protax20.exe.config (if using Basic) or C:\ProWin20\32bit\protax20.exe.config (if using Core) in any text editor (Word, Notepad, etc)

2. Insert the following line above the </AppSettings> line

<add key="Intuit.Spc.Authorization.EmbeddedWebBrowserImplementation" value="Standard"/>

3. Save, restart ProSeries

See video below. If you are worried about messing something up, you can backup the file first.

Hi,

I'm sorry for the frustration.  Can you try going to the start menu, and choosing "ProSeries 2020 -> Tools - Repair Updates"?

If that doesn't work, please go to your install directory and email \32bit\Logs\proseries.txt to proseries_engineering@intuit.com and I'll take a look.

The frozen screen is still an issue in 2019. IT had to swap out my laptop, and now I'm getting the frozen screen for 19. 2020 works just fine. No way for me to do the work around at this time. May have to get IT involved?
