GlobalProtect - Windows 10 - Client Won't display

L1 Bithead

I have a fresh install of Windows 10.  When I right click on the GlobalProtect icon in the tray no menu ever shows up.  I see the GlobalProtect icon in the taskbar but any click on it will make icon dissappear.  Any ideas or workarounds?

 

I have re-installed the client at least 5 times now and restarted my PC several times.  Same behavior every time.

Update - The issue is fixed.

 

Steps to fix:  I have no idea.  I needed to log into my VPN this morning (Cyber Monday is getting close!) so i thought I would give it another go and it works perfectly.

 

Sorry to future people with this problem that I don't have any more info.

 

My best guess is that on a fresh install there is some runtime library that is missing and eventually while installing other applications the missing one was installed.

 

Left / Right clicking on the GP icon now brings up the context menu.

I also had this problem, unable to get the client to display using multiple monitors. I did fix the problem by setting a default monitor, one of the three that I use.
