Hello, I have been having some weird issues with some of my applications recently. With certain Windows Desktop and Windows Store apps, if I run them on my GPU, the window is completely black, except for the title bar. I know the application is running,
because I can hear sound from it, and I can even interact with it with my keyboard and mouse (such as in Halo 5: Forge, where if I hover over an element with my mouse it makes a 'click'.) However, if I switch to running the application using Integrated Graphics
in the NVidia Control Panel, it works just fine.
Another odd thing is that it doesn't do this with all my games and applications if I run it on my dedicated GPU. For instance, Gigantic, a Windows Store App, works great while running on my GPU. On the other hand, games like Halo 5: Forge and Forza Motorsports
6: Apex do not work.
I am also running the updated drivers (as of June 9, 2017) for my graphics card.
As a side note, I am running the latest build of Windows Insider Edition, but this problem has been persisting even before I installed the Preview Edition.
Here are my system specifications:
- HP Pavilion Notebook
- Windows 10 Home Insider Preview Build 16215.rs_prerelease.170603-1840
- Intel Core i7-7500U
- NVidia GTX 940MX
- 64-bit
- 16 GB RAM
