Hi @Michael_Koehler,

If you don’t see the Roon logo in the menu bar, Roon Server hasn’t launched in the background alongside the GUI (Roon). Your Remote has no server to connect to on the same machine.

This update targets key bugs that were impacting the Roon experience for RoonOS and macOS users. For RoonOS, we fixed the issue that caused RoonServer to appear as “Not Running” in the WebUI when the server was active.

Please try uninstalling and reinstalling Roon to update to the latest version.

Thank you!
