To my surprise, it came up with basically a blank white screen. It the process of moving the mouse around, I discovered that the invisible images are there, but can't be seen against the white background.

I can access the image editor & see the selected image. Briefly I was able to see the menu items at the top & the status bar at the bottom. But my thumbnail view stays all white. I do not see the image when I select preview. I can open the 'Edit Metadata' window. I can find 'Properties', 'Metadata', 'Colors', etc along the right-hand edge & left-hand edge of the screen. I see no frames around the images & no format info, nor blue around the selected image. The pop-up at the bottom of screen tells me that 'Find new items' has finished. It's like I'm looking at a series of igloos in a snowstorm.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I do have the lens icon w/'digiKam' in the upper left corner & the minimize, maximize, & exit buttons on the upper right.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I don't have any idea how I made this happen.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">My hope is that someone can help me fix it!</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I'm running Windows 10 & it is appropriately updated.
