Search Panel missing in OrCAD X Presto after floating - Need help with UI reset

HY202510149941

Hello,

I am reporting a UI bug in OrCAD X Presto where the Search Panel has disappeared and become completely inaccessible.

Problem: After using the Search Panel as a floating window, it vanished. It is now unresponsive to keyboard shortcuts, menu toggles, and even a full software reinstallation. It appears the UI layout data is corrupted and persisting in the local configuration files.

Request:

  1. Please provide instructions on how to hard-reset the UI layout to factory defaults.

  2. Which local configuration files or registry paths should be manually cleared to perform a "clean" reinstall that wipes previous UI states?

Best regards,

Parents

    You can try enabling the window by navigating to View > Panels > Search.

    If the Search pane still doesn’t appear, the next step would be to close all the Presto instances, then rename the “Cadence Design Systems” folder located under
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ in the Registry Editor.

    Before making any changes in the Registry Editor, I strongly recommend creating a backup of your registry.
