        I’ve noticed that code doesn’t work anymore as well. You can log into the pi configs and go to all and then emulationstation. There is a config file in there. Not near my pi so I forget what it’s called. But there is a line for what mode Es is in. Change it from KIOSK to FULL

                    @johnny_trevino_1 Glad we could help. One little tip about this forum: You could've just put both our names with a leading @ in one post (e.g. @Clyde @lostless Hello!) The forum's software recognizes that and informs all users that are mentioned like this. It even proposes existing user names while typing if you start with an @.
