Nevertheless:
Many times the default gpu drivers installed by Windows 10 are missing many features. OpenGL support is usually absent, especially in older hardware. And if you are really unlucky the hardware maker could have totally deprecated your gpu from its list of supported Windows 10 graphics hardware.
First of all go to the manufacturer’s page and download official drivers for your gpu. And also tell us a bit about your hardware.
Thank you for the information. Here are my hardware stats

Hi,
I have the same problem with a HP probook 6560b ;I7 2670qm;intel HD graphics 3000.
I try to run the exe file with selecting window8 (and 7) compatibility but it doesn’t work.
What should i do? I have just buy this PC to install VCV Rack
it appears there might be ways to get a higher version of OpenGL than what the last 3000 drivers allowed, but it’s way more advanced than my windows IT knowledge…
If you are still willing to try, try typing "Intel hd 3000 OpenGL " , there seems to be a few forum threads about this, looks like others had similar issues as you
Love VCV Rack and the ability to build and play with the sounds/modules. I was having this opengl error on my dell e6320 that also has the intel hd3000 issue.
I’ve upped the SSD and the RAM on the machine and hoped it would work… numerous tried as above and failed. However after multiple attepmts to get it to work I went back today and found a solution for my case.
Hi, Just want to say a big thank you for your post.
I just couldn’t get VCV Rack to open at all in my very elderly,but Win 10, PC.
Then I came across this thread,and the link in your post,which solved my problem,after some nail biting.I got right to the end of the guide/article,but the Fix I had created didn’t have the optionto install,so itseemed that it had been pointless.
However,one way,or another,after just leaving it sitting [still open] for a while,and having a rest - I was already exhausted by the time I strarted - I,somehow,got it to work.
Not by doing just what was indicated,but something else,too,which I can’t remember.I was pretty brain dead by then.
Anyway,however it worked,it did,finally work.So,thanks again for your post.
These are great tips, and should allow people in this bad situation to try out Rack. But of course the system will still be pretty graphics limited, so it wouldn’t be surprising to experience click and pops with anything but a very small patch. So go for it, but if you find you like VCV, try to obtain better graphics. If you have a computer that has slots in it, a several-year-old gaming GPU will be a huge upgrade, and would not cost much (esp if you can find someone giving one away).
Thank you! I have an old PC with an integrated Intel Graphics 2000 display. I followed the steps for using the Windows ADK (I’m running Windows 10 Pro 64bit), created the database as described and can now open Rack whereas previously I was getting the OpenGL error…
