How does one open the Toolbox application?
My understanding is that the Toolbox is supposed to open automatically when the NAV SD card is inserted into a computer. Mine doesn't do this and I can't find the executable program that manually starts the Toolbox.
Looking under the Start Menu (Win10) I don't see it and it's not in the alphabetized list. Using File Explorer I can find the Mazda folder under this path, C:\Program Files (x86)\Mazda\Toolbox. The only executable programs in that folder are programs to update the Toolbox and to uninstall it. Nothing to start the Toolbox.
I can start the Toolbox if I run the update program though. After the update runs it finishes up with the Toolbox open.
What am I missing?

I check mine also on win10, on the same directory I have the "tbagent.exe" . That the one that launches the toolbox

I just click on the Mazda Toolbox icon on my desktop. The path shown on my system is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mazda Update Toolbox"
The Toolbox opens and then prompts you to insert the SD card for map updating etc. The actual update application process started automatically when I clicked on the icon as it checks the Mazda servers for new versions.

That's exactly what I was talking about.
This is the Toolbox update program and once the Toolbox is updated it ends with the Toolbox open.
When I run that program it asks me if I want to update. I'm not ready to do anything at this time with updating and such so I tell it no. Perhaps if my Toolbox was up to date that running this program would open the Toolbox directly?
Alternatively uninstall Toolbox and re-install from the Mazda website?
when I run the tbagent, it opens the a small pop up dialogue box "checking for update" for half a second then the mazda toolbox window opens.
I don't get an option to update the toolbox. I'm still with version 4.4.2002149986
I would assume that Mazda Toolbox will automatically check for updates when opening.

So I was right. Yesterday I ran tbagent.exe and when it asked me if I wanted to update the Toobox I told it to go ahead. After updating it left the Toolbox open and requesting that I insert the SD card. I closed the program and ran tbagent.exe again. It checked for an update real quick and then opened the Toolbox. I didn't update my card but I will in the spring when I get the MX out from it's winter hibernation.
The Toolbox still does not appear in the Windows start menu though.
