Invision Studio on Windows not working

Hey Anthony,

So sorry for the trouble with getting Studio to work on your Windows machine! We want to get you up and running as soon as possible. Can you please provide the following information so that we can take a closer look into why this might be happening?:

     1. Can you please send a screenshot of your operating system information? We need to see both the “Device specifications” and the “Windows specifications” sections on the “About” page. To grab that info, click the Start (Windows icon) button, and then click Settings > System > About.
     2. Do you have any AntiVirus programs running on your computer? 

Look forward to hearing from you,

Shaina

Hi Shaina

Yes I do have McCaffe Safe Connect as well as Windows defender running on my computer.  I had a coworker install invision studio successfully on their desktop as a test so I know it can work on PC. I am running an MSI laptop so I'm sure there are some differences in the hardware and settings. Below is the screenshot for the about info on my pc.

Tahnks,

Thanks. 

Thank you very much for providing those details, Anthony. I will open a ticket on your behalf so that our Support team can take a closer look at this. Please keep an eye out for one of our Support agents soon.

Thanks for your patience,

Shaina

Adding some hardware details here on Anthony's behalf:

MSI GS63VR 7RF Laptop

Dual Graphics:  Intel HD630 & Nvidia GTX 1060,

Drivers:  Intel 25.20.100.6618    Nvidia 419.67

We've tried switching Integrated <-> dGPU via Nvidia Control Panel to attempt ruling out a hardware acceleration issue.

The options to toggle between graphics hardware are rather limited in this particular laptops BIOS settings.

Are there any launch parameters that can be used to further troubleshoot?

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for adding those details! I will be sure to add them to Anthony's ticket for our Support team to review. One of our Support agents will be in touch on his ticket soon.

Best,

Shaina

Hi everyone,

I got the same issue on Windows. When I try to run Studio, it doesn't open.

Previously I ran Studio as Admin and on Compatibility Mode (Windows 8), and it worked.

I closed Studio, then from the second time I tried to run, it opens no more.

Below are two images, how screen is now, and my system specifications.

Hi Alex

Thanks for the feedback. We will provide feedback as soon as this issue is resolved as a ticket has been opened to investigate further. 

Thanks for your patience.

Have a great day! 

Hey Alex,

Looks like this issue may be related to something our Engineers are already investigating. I'll open a ticket for you with Support so that they can keep you posted. Thanks for your patience. Hope you had a nice weekend.

Beth

Same Bug also happens on my system.

Any update on these issues? I have exact same issue, blank splash screen after starting the Studio.

Hi Janne,

I apologize for the issues with running Studio on your PC. So that we can get a better understanding of what might be going on here, can you please provide the following information?:

1. A screenshot of your operating system details
2. The version of Studio that you're running
3. If you're using external monitors, can you retry the install with just one monitor? 
4. Could you try running Studio in Compatibility mode, then re-open?

Look forward to hearing from you,

Shaina

Hi all,

same issue for me, blank splash screen after starting the Studio.

I've tried to de-install / re-install and it doesn't fix the bug.

Thank you for your help

Hi FL,

I apologize for the frustration that this might be causing for you. Can you also please provide the following information so that we can take a closer look at this issue for you?:

Hi,

this week-end, i've tried to run studio on my laptop without connecting my external monitor, and it worked.

This morning, i try to run studio with the monitor, and it doesn't work, but a new message appears asking me to send a bug report, which I did.

Hope it will be helpfull.

Hi FL,

Sorry to hear that you're still running into issues with Studio for Windows when using your external monitor. As mentioned above, can you please attempt running your machine in compatibility mode? Here are some instructions on how to do so:

1. Right-click Studio and click Properties. 
2. Go to Compatibility tab, then check the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode for: 
3. Select Windows 8 from the dropdown menu. If this doesn't work, try Windows 7.
4. Click Apply and OK to save the change. 

If this works for you, it sounds like it's related to a known issue that our Engineering team is currently working on. Once I hear back from you, I would like to open a ticket on your behalf with our Support team so that we can confirm that what you're experiencing is related.

Thanks,

Shaina

Can confirm this is an issue on v1.17.0, under Windows 10. Compatibility mode did nothing, but unplugging my monitors connected via DisplayLink fixed the issue - the app seems fine when you launch on a non-DisplayLink screen, and will continue to work fine once you plug the monitors back in.

So my suspicion is something goes wrong with the initialisation on a DisplayLink-connected screen. 

Hi,

i confirm the conlusions of Tharglet Asimis

Same configuration, same symptoms, same remedy.

Thanks for reporting your findings, Tharglet and FL! Since you are both experiencing issues still, I would like to get our Support team involved here.

I will open tickets on each of your behalf including all of the details that you have in this post. Please keep an eye out for an email from one of our Support agents soon.

Have a wonderful day,

Shaina 

Same here. 

is there any way to fix it? 

I really need it rn ...

Hi Nari,

I apologize for the frustration that this issue is causing. To determine the source of the issue for you, can you please provide the same information as requested above?:

1. Can you please send a screenshot of your operating system info? You can access the info we’ll need by clicking the Start (Windows icon) button, then clicking Settings > System > About. You should see both of the needed items here: Device Specifications and Windows Specifications.
2. The version of Studio that you're running
3. If you're using external monitors, can you retry the install with just one monitor? 
4. Could you try running Studio in Compatibility mode, then re-open?
5. If possible, could you send us a screenshot or screencast showing this blank screen issue?

Look forward to hearing from you,

Shaina

Updated my ticket with some info. Let's see how this goes. 

@Nari Did some testing. Looks as if you have one monitor directly connected to you machine (or lid open on a laptop I think suffices), the program should launch ok. If it is being really tricksy, disconnect your dock, launch the app, then reconnect your dock. 

Can confirm that Tharglet Asimis is right, same configuration same issue for me (v1.19.0). Minute I switch to none displaylink monitor the program runs, what a weird issue.

Sorry to hear that you're also running into this, Marin. I would like to have our Support team take a look at this for you.

I will open a ticket on your behalf with our Support team so they can keep you in the loop on any updates with this issue. Please keep an eye out for a message from one of our Support agents soon.

Best,

Shaina
