My soulseek is running in my tray, but the program window won't open.
Also the tab is appearing in my taskbar.
Any way to fix it?

Hi
what happens on a right mouseclick on the tray icon? It could have happened that SLSKqt GUI died (you could see it as the GUI runs then under 100% (=1 core fully loaded which depends on how much cores you have). The SLSK is dead and the taskmanager helps you to kill it and restart the GUI.

Remember, if you run IOS (MAC), run it the first time by righ-click (and open) on the slsk-icon, not left-click..
Also, if you are on Windows, remember to do a CC-clean (full), to get rid of old install files, + try out the Beta versions here on the left...

When I do the right click I have this:

When I choose an option - Open Soulseek, then the program lands in the taskbar, but it doesn't show the Soulseek program window:

I want to reinstall Soulseek, but how to do it without loosing my download and search data?

Looks like you're using the old Soulseek NS client, I would try SoulseekQt from the download page or the Latest Builds pane.
