If you have third-party antivirus software (McAfee, Norton, etc.), it may be interfering with TypeEasy V2’s ability to display properly. Try disabling and/or uninstalling your antivirus software to see if the issue is resolved. If so, you may want to stick with Windows Defender (the pre-loaded antivirus protection software that comes standard on Windows machines) rather than using the third-party antivirus.
