Description:
After a recent update to 5.2.34 (Yes old one was uninstalled and pyc's removed) we have found that only a single user can open workbench at a time. The second user tries to run workbench and gets nothing on screen. Both users are RDP'd into the server. Having the original user exit out of workbench and the second user then run it worked just fine. This was attempted several times with the same result.

How to repeat:
1. Have two people remote connect to machine where workbench is installed.
2. Have User 1 run workbench.
3. While user 1 is using workbench have User 2 attempt to run workbench.

If User 2 does not see anything load on screen, 
have User 1 exit out of work bench and User 2 attempt to once again load workbench.

Could you please verify in Preferences->General if the option 'Only allow one instance....' is checked. Thanks.

Only allow one instance is NOT checked.

I just checked Allow only one instance and then unchecked it again and that seems to have resolved the problem.

Thank you for the help and information
