Audacity Forum

I am having the same issue. Majority of my files are not re-opening. I can record edit and export right away but once I save a file and come back to it audacity launches but nothing in the window. It is quite annoying as I am losing a bunch of projects for now. Hopefully this issue gets resolved soon! I am running Catalina 10.15.5

If it's the same issue, quit Audacity, then double click on the AUP file.

The projects should still be there. You just have to open them in another way:
File > Open Recent
File > Open

Or, as Steve points out, Quit Audacity then double-click on the AUP file.

I've done that. I open recent files, nothing. I open file, nothing. I quit audacity, double click on the aup file and still nothing.

I'm at a loss since this works on my Macbook Air running 10.15.5.

Please try resetting Audacity's settings according these instructions.

I am running 10.15.5 with Audacity 2.4.1

For me, I can open projects using File->Open, but double clicking the .aup from Finder does not work. Not a HUGE deal but would be nice to have a fix at some point.

Thanks.

Can confirm this is an issue even after resetting Audacity as described above. Running macOS 10.15.5. Not only do .aup files fail to open, but also any other media file, such as .mp3 and .wav.

Also, when the Audacity window is minimized in the Dock, it does activate and spring up from the Dock, but no file is open. It simply shows an empty screen.
