Hi @Andri_Desmana, to re-open the emulator window in case you close it or in case it did not appear in the first place you can press Ctrl+Shift+P in windows or Cmd+Shift+P in mac, then write **IDX: Show Web Preview**

This is addressed in the official FAQ, you can take a look here: [https://developers.google.com/idx/guides/troubleshooting?hl=es-419](https://developers.google.com/idx/guides/troubleshooting?hl=es-419)
