Hey guys, how are you? I’m currently starting to learn and use FMOD in Windows 10, and when I use ctrl + 3 to toggle the Audio Bin window, it appears totally in black and doesn’t allow me to select the assets or watch te [FMOD.io](http://FMOD.io) section. I don’t know what to do. It occures in all versions of FMOD. ---

When I try running FMOD Studio on Windows 10, pressing Ctrl+3 allows me to view the audio bin window without problems. I must therefore be doing something differently to you, but I’m not sure what. Does pressing Ctrl+8 to open the shared effects browser or Ctrl+4 to open the events browser work? If you wait for a few minutes after opening the window, do its contents clear up and become visible? Or does it remain black indefinitely? Is the browser window entirely black? Is its menu bar visible? Are the tabs at the top of the browser visible, or are they hidden by the blackness too? Does this issue occur on other machines, or is it isolated to the one machine you’ve been trying to use it on? If it’s isolated to just one machine, is there anything about that machine that’s unusual? If it happens on multiple machines, is there anything those machines have in common?
