Hello folks,

Besides having issues with UI (see [this](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/joplin-1-0-174-does-not-open-properly/4265) topic) there is an issue with TO-DO reminders that do not pop up. I have tested a few times and never saw a popup window or any kind of reminder. Settings look fine and time and date are visible there but still, nothing ever happens.  
I believe that the two issues may be related.  
OS Win 10 latest update, Joplin latest versioin, two monitor setup.  
Thanks,  
Salasso

The entire log file was too big but I have identified a part that seems quite relevant.

Please read the template:

> - The version you are using. LATEST VERSION is not a version number!

So which version?

There's a fix for that in [pre-release v1.0.177](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/tag/v1.0.177). Please could you give it a try and see if helps?

By the way it's because of this that "latest version" is meaningless to us - sometimes people don't know that they don't have the latest version, or don't know about pre-releases, or a new version is released a few days later so we no longer know what "latest version" refers to.

@laurent: I had the same issue and installed the pre-release - now the reminders are working like a charm, thank you 😊

Tested and it works. I’d prefer a popup window that goes over all open windows but OK, I can live with this.  
Also, the issue with UI [here](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/joplin-1-0-174-does-not-open-properly/4265) is no longer present so it seems I guessed right that the two issues are related.  
Thank you.
