Check to see if the Fing Application is running minimized or in the background.  You can do this by checking the small icons on the  bottom right side of the navigation bar near the system clock and date information, or by selecting the ^ icon to display the small icons.   If the Fing icon is shown, it is running mimimized.   To make it run in full screen (or normal mode), do this:

1. From the desktop dashboard left side navigation bar, select your name and display the drop-down menu.
2. Select Preferences to display the App Preferences window.
3. Disable the toggle Start Minimized.
4. Enable the toggle Launch Fing at startup.
