Can you provide a screenshot to clarify what you're seeing?

No, unfortunately Windows doesn't specify which hardware is having problems. Microsoft may have other tools or ways of finding out this information, but I'm not familiar with any.

The report seems to agree with what I've been saying: A problem with your hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly.

Well, the solution would be to not get into that state in the first place ;-).

We need steps to reproduce to get into this situation. We thought we'd fixed this, so we need to get this sorted during the beta phase.

It won't be CUDA, as that is NVIDIA only.

The Windows versions don't currently support hardware acceleration.

Hi @Rubyjim, I'm a bit confused because you don't need a product key for Publisher...

Hi @Swiggsy77, is this specific to the latest beta?

How have you been getting on @SamSteele? Any more UI rendering issues after updating your graphics card drivers?

Sounds like an interaction between the 32-bit Preview panel and F-Secure then? Or are you saying that the app crashes whenever the 32-bit preview panel is open, even if F-Secure is uninstalled?
