SUCCESS - at least for me and my system.
Did contact Support - did provide log and sys.ini files. (Thanks Peter, had jumped the gun on you there
)
Suggestion 1
Make sure using latest display driver - for Nvidia use Studio instead of Game Ready
Update Discreet GPU drivers with Studio drivers instead - didn't help
For trouble shooting, disconnect any external displays on laptop and try starting Resolve again (and rebooted laptop again) - still didn't work
Suggestion 2
Blackmagic said looks related to Intel integrated gpu interfering with Resolve startup
If can't disable (being laptop), try update drivers for integrated GPU - direct from Intel website, not Windows update
Update drivers - try from Lenovo and Intel and reboot few more times etc
didn't work
Discovery - after seeing odd "unknown" adapter listing on Intel Driver Support Assistant - relook at sys.ini entries - notice "Citrix indirect Display Adapter"
Uninstalled Citrix completely - restarted laptop.
Less than 10 seconds to Project screen. Woo Hoo out loud (WHOL?
)
Happy Studio user again
(Probably means I need to reinstall-uninstall Citrix again for work or see if I can use browser based connection instead when required)
Sorry for the long story - too much isolation. Hoping can help some if either using Citrix - or to look for unexpected external factors.
