Hi
I am a long time user of GZDoom and never had an issue with it before.
I upgraded my PC to Windows 11 from Windows 10 but as its old I used Rufus to install Windows cause my machine is missing the TPM chip.
Anyway when I try the latest GZDoom or a few versions back GZDoom window always pops up as usual but when I choose 'Play Game' the GZDoom window disappears and nothing happens. I check task manager and GZDoom is running but no selectable window. It wont start.
I have the correct WAD files and everything- as I said I have been using GZDoom for years without issue but the only thing that has changed is upgrading to Windows 11.
I even tried starting with a fresh install of GZDoom and chucking the wads in there to try but it still doesnt load the game!
NVIDIA RTX2070 SUPER
INTEL I7
GZDoom app starts but it never starts/loads into a game, help!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

I know that you said you have tried a fresh install, but did that include checking that you had deleted your ini file? You may have missed it if it is in documents/my games/gzdoom
