Worlds Desktop Editor Black Screen

Recently upgraded to i9 (16 Core) and from 1660 ti to 5070 ti. Upgraded the motherboard as well but not the storage. I had the desktop editor downloaded with the old setup. It worked on the previous setup. Now it opens and stays black. I have tested many other software including Blender, Unity, and high end games and they all work perfectly. I have also tried uninstalling the editor along with manually deleting every folder/content that didn't get removed with the uninstall. I then reinstalled, but still get the same black screen. It doesn't act like anything is wrong. It doesn't bottleneck the cpu or gpu. I have tried Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling and changing the graphics performance preferences just for tests with no differences.

    Same situation here... went from Rtx 4060ti on Ryzen 8700G to Rtx 5070ti on Ryzen 9800X3D and now I have the black screen in the standalone desktop editor. I will update IF I find a solution.

    I have the same issue, uninstalled, reinstalled, nothing gives a clue except Event Viewer which says "Faulting application name: horizon.exe, version: 2022.3.45.15866, time stamp: 0x66ce5c6c
    Faulting module name: libovrbodyp.dll, version: 2.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x1f582cb1

    Installing the latest version does not resolve for me. I must run the install and repair each time I want to get into the Worlds Desktop Editor to get past the black screen.

    I installed Horizon v234.0.0.5.294 on a Virtual Machine (Windows 11) on my MacBook (around 20 GB RAM for Virtual Machine, 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB). The screen stays black and shows “not responding.” Any fixes?

    I'm running Window10 AMD FX8120@3.10GHz 16Gb RAM, Nvidia GTX1070 8Gb.

    Same issue.  Black screen and Unity Crash Handler is spawned.  Log file shows error loading libovrbodyp.dll.  

    I have not been able to get this app to run at all.  Meta seems to be very quiet on solutions.
