I had a similar problem with professions not opening . . . apparently.

What was actually happening (and I did not even have NPCScan installed, so it could not be responsible, as such), was that the window was opening, but off-screen.  I could hear it opening and closing, but it never appeared.

To fix this, I used the MoveAnything addon.  Using this, I was able to "reset" the window, which made it visible for me.

I suspect that it was a library that came with one of my other addons that caused the issue.  It may be the same here.

For anyone wanting to try this method, once the MoveAnything addon is installed and the game is running:

1. Open MoveAnything from the Game Menu (press the Esc key enough and it will appear).
2. Find and open Info Panels in the list.
3. Find Trade Skills in the sub-list (NOT just Trade).
4. Click the first tick-box (Mover).
5. Click the Reset button, or move the window to any location you like.

Hopefully this will help people seeing this issue until a better fix becomes available.

Also if you set the window position using MoveAnything, I think it remembers, so you don't need to do it every time.

It keeps finding mobs that arent even remotely in range or targetable with no indication which way to go - and no indication where they are on the map. Frustrating. Is there a way to reduce the range of npcscan. Feel like its map wide atm(its not).

Scroll back to comments around mid-August where I commented on same issue and a couple ways to deal with it.

This addon is not detecting rares in Pandaria, only detects rares that you need for an achievement.

It does not alert when Zandalari Warbringer spawns, or the Zandalari Warscouts etc

Why won't the pops ups close when i use the "remove"/right click feature?

In Arathi Basin(BFA version) because there are so many world bosses and rares I have issues during world PVP raids or even 5 player party windows being covered up by multiple NPC scan windows(2 or more). Multiple NPC scan windows end up covering up my raid frames. This would not be an issue if the NPC scan windows simply closed when I used the "remove" feature by right or left clicking(I cant recall which at this moment). As a healer that uses click healing on my raid frames and having half the raid covered up by multiple NPC scan windows with no method of removed said windows. Well, you can imagine the frustration. 

I have the most updated version and keep Twitch up daily for updates. Why won't the NPC windows disappear when I click on the "X" or use the right/left click "remove" feature? 

I've looked far and wide and can't find a key for the settings inside the NPCscan window.

When enabling / disabling rares, what do ! and ? mean?  What do Green / Yellow / Red names mean?  There isn't a key anywhere that says.  I'm trying to deselect rares that I've killed before and don't want to track, but it's hard to tell.

Please forgive what may be a dumb question, but I could not find this in the settings. Once I have a killed a rare I would like for it to be removed so I don't see the alert to kill it again (since it's usually just for an achievement).

I vaguely recall this happening out of the box but I may be thinking of another rare hunting addon. Now in the NPCScan settings there are a few rules to ignore mobs if X happened, but I have all of those ticked and still if I pass by a rare and kill it ten times I'll still have the warning pop up the eleventh time.

BFA ones. But I'll start using the ignore function (I thought it just meant remove the little targeting window).
