The following are project analysis issues that might occur involving background code when working in Flare Desktop.

2. Open the project folder in Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to the project's Analyzer folder and delete it.
4. Reopen the project in Flare Desktop and select the Analysis ribbon to utilize any of the scanning tools. The feature should now function.
