Can't get DaVinci Resolve 15 to load on Windows 10

Hi all,

I've downloaded the free version of DaVinci Resolve and installed it as normal. The first time I loaded the software I was given the option to look at a tour, which I did. There were then two settings options that I had to choose, I forget what they were now but it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Resolve didn't load up. When I try to load the software it appears in Task Manager with 145.5MB allocated RAM, but then it doesn't do anything else. I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Earlier versions of Resolve have worked fine, although I have done a fresh install of Windows since then.

My system specs are as follows:

MSI Z270 PC Mate motherboard
i7-7700K CPU
EVGA Superclocked Geforce GTX 1060 6GB GPU
32GB DDR4 RAM

Any help or suggestions gratefully received!

In a File Explorer window, go to:

C:\Program Files\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve

and run CaptureLogs

Then open Windows System Information 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.

Thanks for your quick reply Dwaine!

Here's the download link:

Thank you. For the future reference, it also solved my (and apparently common) problem on Dell XPS 15 9570. I simply moved the "igdrclneo64.dll" file away from C:\WINDOWS\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ki127034.inf_amd64_67158b9e3d4a0df5 folder and now I can enjoy working with DaVinci again.

To quickly locate the said file, you can run a search command in PowerShell terminal (run it as Administrator):

Code: Select all

Get-ChildItem -Path C:\WINDOWS\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository -Filter igdrclneo64.dll -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -Force

Thank you so much Dwaine, that's sorted it!

I've also been unable to run any version of Premiere Pro newer than CS6 with this Windows install, and now that is working as well. I had suspected that it was something to do with CUDA (CS6 will only run a software renderer), but I had no idea what to do about it.

Thanks for vindicating my suspicions, and even more thanks for fixing the problem.
