Under Windows 10, the launcher has started to just sometimes turn into a black square for me. I can still drag it around, minimizing it then maximizing it (using OS controls) can sometimes make the graphics appear again, sometimes I have to close it.

So, removing external USB mad the launcher stop going black?

Whoops, I should have made that more clear… I had TWO problems going at the same time, and I thought they were related, but they weren’t. 1. Launcher window going completely black. 2.

Switching hardware acceleration and hi-res option off fixed this issue for me.
