What are the minimum requirements for GTK 4.16 to run properly on Windows 10?
The reason I’m asking is that I have several Windows 10 laptops with older AMD integrated graphics, and they only display white windows without any content.

Hi @Kemo_G_Kemic, my guess is that GLSL shaders either do not compile or they don’t work as intended because of limits in the driver. Can you try running a GTK4 application with the environment variables GSK_RENDERER=gl or GSK_RENDERER=cairo?
It’s not easy to determine exactly which OpenGL drivers handle the GPU GSK renderer just fine and which do not. See for example Window is no longer rendering properly on GTK 4.14.x (Windows Intel iGPU) (#6721) · Issues · GNOME / gtk · GitLab
Laptop configuration:
CPU with IGPU: Core i5 3340M
IGPU: Intel HD 4000
Discrete GPU: amd radeon hd 7600m
Enabled IGPU;
Everything works fine with gl and cairo backends.
White screens with ngl and vulkan → nothing works with these two backends.
I think it should support both: ngl and vulkan.
When I disable IGPU (rendering is on discrete aMD Radeon HD 7600M), ngl produces correct output.
