What’s your graphics hardware? Is the driver up to date?

Windows 7 soon to be no longer functional for 6.0

Just a heads up. Soon (hopefully) we will be switching Windows nightly builds to Python 3 Python 3.8+ and above use api that requires a minimum of Windows 8 and can crash attempting to run on Windows 7. We will not be working around this due to the obsolete and discontinued status of Windows 7 and a check has been added to gracefully refuse to run KiCad in this situation. This check also goes backwards and will reject operation on Vista and XP. Users are encouraged to switch to any up to date…

Not relevant to this problem really.

OP either has a really old machine or are attempting to use kicad over remote desktop which does not work pre windows 10-2004 (windows side limitation)

Sounds that gpu driver is missing as on old windows instalation, accelerate graphics were not available on the windows driver
