IBM i Global

Hi Ismet, 

I am going to assume you recently updated either Java or Windows and this happened right? 

One thing you can try is to go to the IBM i Access Client Solutions program under Tools -> File Associations to try to see if that resolves?


The other part that bit me personally was that I set my Default Console on the Windows Terminal, this made things go crazy on my system, for this I ended up reinstalling ACS unfortunately to fix  the internal keys and such (hope yours does not get to that stage). 


Here are some of posts experiencing the same :

HTH

Maybe using the Plugin would help you.  the below is from the Getting Started documentation

9.1.18 Console

/PLUGIN=console /SYSTEM=<system>

This plug-in starts a 5250 console to the specified system.

This function is equivalent to 5250 Console from the main GUI.

Hi Marius and Bryan,

Thank you both for taking the time to respond to my question.

After reviewing the link Marius shared (https://community.ibm.com/community/user/discussion/access-client-shortcuts-and-files-will-not-open-with-windows-11), I came across another discussion within the same thread that offers a solution to this issue.

It turns out that preventing the terminal window from opening when launching the 5250 emulator involves just a few simple steps. Here's what needs to be done:

Cheers,
