I've been using Resolve successfully for years.

Version 18.6 started to load and then shut off.

I upgraded to the current beta version and get the same results.

This isn't much to go on. Did you check the Windows Event Viewer for errors? Actually, are you even on Windows? Resolve generates its own logs as well - location depends on operating system.

You probably have a bad driver or interfering program if it doesn't even launch (assuming the install said it was successful).

Is your GPU driver up to date? If you use Python is that up to date also?

After several installs and several system reboots, it started working. I have no idea why.
