Sorry … this should not be so hard. I hope there is not a simple solution we have missed… I have run DT and upgraded many many times on WIn11 with no real issues. It would be nice to know what yours is…

What video card are you using… did you say?? Did you try the zipped version that I shared??

You could try the current development build (“beta”, it will be released at Christmas).
The latest weekly build: darktable windows insider program 12/3

It exists, but the Explorer will not show this folder even with “Show hidden files” activated.

You have to

  1. in file explorer navigate to the C:\Users"name"\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\ folder,
  2. click the ellipsis in the icon bar at the top of the window and select options
  3. in the options window select the view tab
  4. in the Advanced Settings box, uncheck “hide protected operating systemfiles (recommended)”

This seems to be a feture to make the Explorer more userfriendly m(

I have the same problem and I discovered the weir solution, that is very simple, remove the memory card reader; sometimes the window shown bellow also shows up.

I also had the same problem in the past with a external HDD, but that window never showed up and the solution was the same.

I think that window shows up when I try to open it and I have already tried before.
