Good Morning.

I’ve installed paraview on Windows 11, to use it with cfdOf on freecad.

When I open it, the window of the software is black, and I see the software GUI like I’m looking from it’s side. I know this description is difficult to understand so please check the screenshot below.

I have this issue on Paraview 5.11 installed inside BlueCFD-Core2024, so I remove it and installed the latest Paraview 6.1, but there is the same problem.

What can I do?

Thank you

Hello @rd.airends,

I believe this is the same issue than in this previous post : [ParaView not working with NVIDIA driver 595 - #8 by lockan](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/paraview-not-working-with-nvidia-driver-595/17474/8)

So it’s not linked to a paraview version but your nvidia driver. AFAIK it has been fixed recently (see [ParaView not working with NVIDIA driver 595 - #19 by lockan](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/paraview-not-working-with-nvidia-driver-595/17474/19) ) although doing raytracing rendering with Optix seems broken with these recent driver

Many thanks, I’ve installed the latest Nvidia driver and the problem solved
