### Solution

There are 2 possible solutions to this issue, both of which are detailed below:

**Option-1**

Upgrade the Graphics Drivers to the latest versions. Note, that this needs to be done **directly via the Intel website**, and not by using Windows, or the Windows update options.

The following [**link**](https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/support/articles/000005629/graphics.html) will take you directly to an Intel support page “***How to Install an Intel® Graphics Driver in Windows® 10 & Windows 11***” that details the steps required to do this.

**Option-2**

Adjust the Graphics Settings to grant graphics performance preference to Well Seeker. This should address the issue with the application being blocked by the graphics card.

* **Press** on the Windows key ![](/files/LWMyCl6bDpdH8TowBdEQ) on your keyboard and start typing **Graphics Settings**
