Installation incomplete

PostFri Jan 13, 2023 5:17 pm

I have downloaded and installed Da Vinci Resolve from the official website. However, after the process is complete I can´t find the icon or shortcut to Da Vinci, neither in the windows application bar. It seems only related applications have been installed, such as Da Vinci Control Panels, Blackmagic Raw Speed Test, Blackmagic Raw Player and Fairlight Studio. Could not find any FAQ about this. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

If you are not running Resolve as Admin you won't see any desktop icons. Go to the Start menu and open the Blackmagic Design folder.

Thanks for your help. But this is exactly my problem. The Da Vinci Icon does not appear in the Blackmagic folder on the start menu as well. It seems tha installation was incomplete, but we did run the installation twice and downloaded the installer from the official web site.

Does Resolve appear in Programs and Features?

Make sure you're using an Admin level User Account, Fausto.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
