When I launch a session from Solar-putty, the session opens in a separate window. One of my colleagues is using Solar-putty and the session opens in the Solar-putty Window. Is there a setting to launch sessions in the main window?
Could you please provide us more information:
1. How do you start new session? Via Open new tab (Ctrl+T), from quick search bar, from Windows Start menu or from command line?
2. What is your operating system?
3. Are you a standard Windows user or administrator?
Thank you.
Richard
Hi Richard.
1. On a new tab, I double click on a saved session. That spawns a new Putty window – see screenshot below.
2. Windows 10 Enterprise 1803
3. Admin user
Any updates?
Hi psiess,
we were unable to reproduce the issue in our lab. Try reproducing the issue and then could you send us Solar-PuTTY logs and sysinfo export? Here's how you get it:
Solar-PuTTY logs are located in C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs\Solar-PuTTY\.
Sysinfo
Send the files to milan.hulik@solarwinds.com
Kind regards,
Milan
Hey Guys,
Are there any updates on this I am having the Same issue
I'm having same trouble. The only way I can get it to actually open in tabs is by right clicking the Solar-PuTTY exe and running as administrator.
Interesting. I am seeing the same thing. When I run Solar-puTTY as Administrator, the terminal window is docked. When I run normally, the terminal opens in a separate window.
Same issue with downloaded version today (10/30/2018). When i double click it opens in a new putty window and not inside solar winds tab. This is normal double click AND right click run as administrator.
I have sent in the settings dump like was asked earlier in this thread, but have not heard back anything.is there any update at all here?
Guys, this has to be some random bug. I thought that just maybe it was fixed. I clicked the and opened a new tab then double clicked one of my connections and ta-da! there it was in the solarwinds window. HOWEVER, I attempted the same process with a different connection and it still pops up outside of the main window.
It would be nice if someone Solar-PuTTYWeb Help Desk would acknowledge this and try and work with us to find the bug and correct it.
I found that this was happening to me because I had a separate version of Putty installed on my computer. As soon as I uninstalled putty from my desktop and reinstalled solar putty it now opens in the solar putty window.
I had NVIDIA graphics card installed on the computer and I had configured nview/NVIDIA Quadro View. Once I enabled, I started experiencing this issue. Sessions started opening in new Putty window. However, after I disabled NVIDIA Quadro view, it started behaving in tabs
Same issue with downloaded version today（2021/08/31) on Win 10 professional. does any updates for the bug?
Same here. I got a new laptop and was playing around and enabled NVIDIA desktop manager and Solar Putty started opening new sessions in a separate Putty Window. Disabled the desktop manager and bingo- works as intended and opens sessions as tabs w/in Solar Putty.
Sorry for opening an old thread, but this is still happening today. I just downloaded the latest copy and installed it. SolarPutty opens with all the Putty sessions showing as blocks on the screen and no matter which session I choose to open, a separate Putty window opens which is completely separate from SolarPutty.
Solar-PuTTY 4.0.0.47OS Name: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 DatacenterOS Version: 6.3.9600 N/A Build 9600
Got the same issue with Solar-Putty shipped with GNS3.Latest version and same behavior.GNS3 2.2.38Solar Putty 4.0.0.47Windows 10 Pro
After deep investigation and tried to replicate the issue on another machine running Windows 11. Solar-Putty has worked fine in standalone and under GNS3 on this machine.
Back to my Windows10 machine, I have uninstalled my firewall and other monitoring tools instead of disabling them. After removing them, Solar-Putty worked normally again.I have no details about the root cause of the issue, however, it seemed that the anti-malware, firewall, anti-virus, and other auto-containment and security tools were interfering by a way or another and prevent Solar-Putty from tabbing the opened windows normally.If you encounter such issue, try to test GNS3 on a machine without intensive security programs first.

Hello all - i have the same problem with sessions opening outside Solar Putty. Tried deleting all sessions and importing but no luck.
I am running Win 11 Home and Solar Putty worked fine on my old laptop.
Necropost, but this post comes up when you google the issue. This is the fix. Hope some future traveler finds this useful.
This issue occurs when PuTTY is installed separately with the defaults, which adds Putty to the $Path environmental variable. Removing it from path restores function.
This has been tested on Win 11 Pro with Solar-PuTTY 4.1.0.0
See my post on this to resolve. posting this because your post is relatively new.
I just tried it but it doesn't work for me. When I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, it started doing exactly what the OP says.Any idea how to fix?Windows 11 Pro Solar-Putty 4.0.0.47
Do you use a different account for elevated (admin) privileges? If so, you need to go into the registry (back registry entries up before messing with them. I am not responsible for any consequences of making this change, use at own risk...)
the keys are: system wide:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\Path
and personal account wide:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\Path
Make sure you separate your entries in path with a colon and do not space between names.
I dont have any "PATH" registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\
same with HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment\
Tried to run as admin and as a user, remove the "C:\Program Files\PuTTY" and still the same results. I even removed other version of putty and still the same results. Running Windows 11 Pro and Solar-Putty 4.1.00
Do you have a different account to work as admin?
I JUST FOUND A SOLUTION to this issue on WINDOWS: CLEANUP YOUR PUTTY CACHE
Step 1- go to your putty installation binaries directory (typically looks like C:\Program Files\PuTTY)
Step 2- Open a terminal at that location
Step 3- run the command: putty.exe -cleanup
You might need to reinstall your solarPutty if it doesn't work right away
