Alley won't open TRIED EVERYTHING

Post by liquified »

Please help, I cannot get Alley to run. I open it and it shows in task manager, but no window opens. I have tried running as an administrator and also uninstalling and reinstalling Alley.

I'm using an OMEN 15-en0xxx laptop on Windows 10 that has AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics 2.90 GHz and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.

I've updated drivers for both GPUs, and I've assigned Alley to the Nvidia GPU through both the Nvidia Control Panel and the Windows graphics settings.

Thanks in advance for the help.

That's pretty old. Try updating it to the latest from AMD directly.

That worked, had to download new driver management software from AMD, didn't realize they had done that.

Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks — updating the AMD driver worked perfectly for me too. I was on an older version and had no idea AMD had changed their driver management software. Alley opens without issues now!
