As we’ve already mentioned that either a visualizer skin bug or a damaged file can be the reason for the above-mentioned issue, here are the solutions to both issues:

Solution 1: Restart the Visualizer

If the visualizer isn’t working because of a bug, you need to restart the OS to check if the visualizer working or not. Many NXT-OS users have fixed the visualizer simply by rebooting it.

Documents > Rainmeter > Skins > NXT-OS > Visualizer > Resources > Scripts

• Now, open the visualizer.ini with notepad, press CTRL + A to select all, and paste the copied code by pressing CTRL + V.
• Once the code is replaced, press CTRL + S to save the changes and close the notepad.
• Finally, restart the NXT OS and open the Visualizer.

Solution 3: Try Another Visualizer

It happens that the visualizer skin is corrupted and if this is the case, the visualizer won’t work on your NXT-OS. Here is the solution for that:

• Go to your web browser and download any visualizer from this link.

• Once the visualizer skin is downloaded successfully, install it with the Rainmeter Skin Installer.
