The window tabs have disappeared on my instance of Sierra Chart.

They are configured to display in settings.

What do I do?

We are currently in development of new controls for the tabs and title bars. The most recent Pre-Release versions have some of this work in them. This is specifically being done to resolve the issue you are having - there is no specific fix for it, as it is an operating system issue. So we are moving away from the Microsoft controls for those items.

For now, you can use the "CW" menu to select the charts you need.

If you want to try the new controls, then you can update to the latest Pre-Release, just be aware that there are still some items being worked out, so you need to understand that in this particular case, this really is a Pre-Release version.

The problem relates to the MDI functionality from the operating system and that has all been rebuilt with our own functionality in the latest prerelease. Information about this is here:
Notice: Solution to: Chart/Book Tabs Visibility Issues, Portions of Chart Window Cut Off

The problem is not specifically, with the tabs themselves. The Chartbook and MDI tabs are implemented as Control Bars and that is 100% our own code and has been, for a very long time. We would think for at least 5+ years. But we would have to check.
