Hi Shohaib,

The most common cause of ChimeraX not starting is the system graphics driver is broken or inadequate.  Updating the graphics driver is the only solution for that.  Also I think ChimeraX creates a "ChimeraX Debug" system menu entry and if you try to start it with that it shows a console window where you might see an error message about why it failed to start.

Good Afternoon,
Hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to your regarding an issue after successfully installed the latest version of Chimera X on one of my user he is using windows desktop and not able to open it. Even though I tried it multiple versions same issue persist. I installed the same version on my laptop without any issues and working fine. Is there anything need to do differently so it can open on desktop. Much appreciated for your help
