On a Mac, you can easily check for this by looking at the dock and identifying the Chromium icon with a dot underneath, indicating an open window. If you find any extra windows open that you're not actively using, it's recommended to force quit them before attempting to start a new recording or automation run.

In cases where you've closed all existing Chromium windows but still face the issue of the recording window not showing up, don't worry. You can try a more advanced troubleshooting step. Navigate to the settings on the left-hand menu, select "Task Magic Profile," and then choose the option to "Reinstall Browser."
