With both if in run setup, it end with error : MinGW Runtime Assertion, file: .. UiResolveOnBoardingIPC.cpp, line 91

Expression: p_Socket && (p_Socket->state() == QLocalSocket::ConnectedState)

Then if I run Resolve, nothing appear.

I've tried somme compability mode with the V16, without success.

What should I do ?

Your GPU is 8 years old and likely the issue. Can u use something releases in the last year or two?
