So I have the Facebook Messenger app for Windows, and online contacts are not showing up.
In fact, no contacts are showing up. What I see in the place they would be in, is something that says "MORE FRIENDS" and "OFFLINE FRIENDS". Then it says "These friends can't see you on chat. Edit". When I hit "Edit" another menu opens up and displays options "Turn on chat for all friends except...", "Turn on chat for only some friends...", and "Turn off chat".
Assuming I want to be seen online on Facebook, I selected the first option, "Turn on chat for all friends except..." and I left the list of exceptions blank.
When I hit "Save", I look back at the main menu of the Facebook app, noticing that nothing seems to have been reconfigured. Perplexed, I closed the app via right-clicking the app's system tray icon, and then I clicked "Exit".
After restarting the app, I get the same result and same problem I had last time it was open. Please help.

Tinker around a bit with it and see if the same resolves the issue for you or not. If not go to the end of the page of the link I am providing and report the issue with Facebook : . Also checkout the bugs and known issues tab.
