mission control no available windows

[Rooster66]

Hi...I am having trouble launching mission control.

I keep getting a message No Available Windows.

My kids do change things on my computer some times but i cant work it out.

If i go to prefferences . Mission Control i do have Displays have seperate spaces ticked.

To use mission control you have to have programs/apps open - those are the windows. Do you have any app windows open when you launch mission control?

To add a tiny bit to Lisa's expert advice; if there are no apps active at the time, you get the message as you described; but if you move your cursor to the top of the screen, this should reveal all your Desktops in numerical order (let to right) as thumbnails even if there are no windows open in them.

If that's what you see, there is nothing "broken".

Ian, I'll tag on to your advice as well. If you have set up Hot Corners in System Prefrences>Mission Control, then to trigger the appearance of the Desktops will require you to move your cursor to the corner selected for that.
