Hey @atom0s, thanks for reporting this

This may be related to a known issue where Postman doesn’t launch with certain GPUs. A workaround for this issue involves disabling your GPU, and detailed instructions on how to do that can be found via the link below.

Thanks @thecuriousdev that did fix the issue for me.

This seems more like an OS issue than a GPU one I think. I'll leave more details on that ticket though.

+1 For this issue.
As soon as I updated Postman to the newest version 6.1.3. on Windows 8.1, it just won't start. All what I see is empty Postman window with only a border. No menus, no nothing, and mouse icon is constantly switching between 'loading' and 'normal'.

@dsnkostic please refer #4594 for the workaround.

Same for version 6.3.0 on Windows 8.1, GPU: Nvidia NVS 510.

"POSTMAN_DISABLE_GPU=true" workaround works

[KenanHArik]

Same for version 6.3.0 on Windows 8.1, GPU: Nvidia NVS 510.

"POSTMAN_DISABLE_GPU=true" workaround works

this worked for windows 7 for me. To clarify these settings need to be changed in the environment variables.
