MillBox Icons Not Showing

Sometimes the icons in the MillBox workflow panel do not appear and you only see a blank background. This is usually a Windows graphics assignment issue. Set MillBox to use the high-performance GPU and the icons return.

Figure 1. MillBox open with a blank toolbar where icons should be.

Fix: assign MillBox to the high-performance GPU

Find MillBox.exe
Open File Explorer and go to your MillBox install folder. Select MillBox.exe.
Typical path example: C:\MillBox_<Edition or Year>\millbox\MillBox.exe

Figure 2. MillBox.exe highlighted in the install folder.

2. Add MillBox.exe to Graphics settings

Windows Settings → System → Display → Graphics → Browse → select MillBox.exe → Add → click Options.

3. Choose High performance
Select High performance (your discrete GPU) → Save.

4. Restart MillBox
Close MillBox and open it again. The icons should now display.

If icons are still missing

Update your GPU driver from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel
Reboot the PC to clear cached graphics state
If you have more than one MillBox entry in Graphics settings, make sure the one you set to High performance points to the exact MillBox.exe you run

Quick checklist

MillBox.exe added to Windows Graphics settings
Graphics preference set to High performance
GPU driver current
MillBox restarted
