Paraview 5.11.2 crashes on startup in Windows 11, AMD Driver.

Hello, my server has Openfoam 13 with paraview 5.11.2.

I want to run paraview client in my windows laptop to connect the server, but everytime I start windows paraview, it crashes.

GPU is AMD Vega iGPU, driver Radeon Pro 26Q1.

Windows 11 25H2, Paraview 5.11.2 with MPI and no MPI.

I already removed the paraview INIs, but no help.

Bottom is OpenGL info.

When does it crashes exactly ?

Image attached: Paraview shows this window from right after I click the icon, and after a few seconds the window(still looks like image) disappears(auto-closes) and one more crash log at eventvwr.

There’s no brief moment of real paraview window.

Which icon ? Unless you mean the ParaView shortcut on your desktop ?

Yes that icon. Same happens when i directly click EXE.

6.1.0 starts well, but I can’t connect to my server with 6.1.0.

Please update your ParaView version: https://www.paraview.org/download/

The HPC server can’t change version, and 6.1.0 can’t connect the HPC.

Please check recent version of ParaView works on your own machine first, because it looks like thbe probem is coming from there.

I installed paraview 6.1.0 with MPI and w/o MPI, and they starts well.

Then I’m afraid ParaView 5.11 is not compatible with your computer, probably because of Windows/Driver update. I do not have a solution to offer apart using another computer or asking your HPC IT to update their ParaView version. 5.11 is ancient.
