The Settings section, accessible from the sidebar menu, allows you to troubleshoot with a reset, provide feedback and to report any issue with the app.

If you encounter an issue with the app, please use the Report Issue option under "Settings" to report the claim via e-mail. Please attach a screenshot too, if applicable.

If the app icons are not loading after an application update, use the "Reset myHostos" option (found in the settings section) to reset the app to the default settings. Once done, you will get an "Update Manager" popup. Select "Yes" to proceed with the update.

Please Note: Minimizing the app during the reset process can corrupt the app. You will have to reset the app again if it gets corrupted. Network connectivity is required.
