[Solved] Windows 10 npm vesion throws Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled

Current behavior

I haven’t used Cypress for a couple f months then this error started showing up: [1720:1117/073201.722:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(441)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled

I was on version 8.4.0. So I did a cypress clear cache, then installed v8.7.0 (interestingly v9.0.0 is available but npm elected to install 8.7.0) I got the It looks like this is your first time using Cypress: 8.7.0 then ✔ Verified Cypress! then Opening Cypress... then, after about a minute, [1720:1117/073201.722:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(441)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled

Desired behavior

It should open.

Test code to reproduce

n.a. See above

Cypress Version

v8.7.0

Other

I recently added a big monitor and am using the DisplayPort interface and this is the first time I am running Cypress since then. Given the error is about ‘gpu’ could there be some hardware setup / compatibility issue? Just a thought.

I deleted all of Cypress folders : "roaming , app data , modules " everything and reinstalled it . problem solved

The same here, except for slightly different code and message:

“[16080:1122/151752.429:ERROR:gpu_init.cc(453)] Passthrough is not supported, GL is disabled, ANGLE is”

Cypress v9.0.0
