If you're experiencing a black screen when using Astropad Studio on Windows, this is typically related to graphics card settings. Here are two methods to resolve this issue:
Method 1: NVIDIA Control Panel
For users with NVIDIA graphics cards:
Open NVIDIA Control Panel
Navigate to Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings
Add Astropad Studio to the program list
Select Integrated Graphics as the preferred graphics processor
Method 2: Windows Graphics Settings
If Method 1 doesn't resolve the issue:
Open Windows Settings on your PC
Navigate to System > Display Settings
Scroll down to Multiple Displays > select Graphics Settings
Click Add and select Astropad Studio
Choose Desktop App as the app type
Click Browse and locate your Astropad Studio installation folder
Once Astropad Studio appears in the list, click Options
Select Power Saving mode
Close Graphics Settings
Close and restart Astropad Studio
