DaVinci Resolve not opening

PostWed Jun 18, 2025 8:55 pm

Hey all,

I recently had DaVinci Resolve 19 on Windows 10. I tried opening the program, but it refused to open. Gave me an error almost immediately upon the loading screen popping up. After a few more attempts, restarts, etc. I uninstalled, downloaded a new version (DR 20) and still had the same issue when trying to open it.

Any advice on how to problem solve this would be super useful.

Thanks in advance!

In a File Explorer window, go to:

C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve

and run CaptureLogs

This will place a Resolve log file named similar to this on your Windows Desktop: DaVinci-Resolve-logs-20181228_140434.zip (You may not see the .zip extension if your system is set to hide known extensions).

Then open the Windows System Information app and do a File - Save (Not a File Export), which will generate a .NFO file.

Place both those files on a file sharing site and provide links to the files here. Make sure the links don't require access credentials.

If you are a new Forum user, you may not be allowed to post URLs. If this happens, just put a space near the front of the URL, so the system doesn't think it's a URL.
