Installed with Scoop, but it doesn't start.

Installed, running it, but nothing happens. Windows 11.

did you update your drivers? if your hardware is very old use the open-gl version

It might be good to get the OpenGL version onto Scoop as well. It should be very simple, since a manifest for the default build already exists.

Hi everyone,

I'm seeing a few reports of the zed not launching on Windows. One potential cause might be related to Vulkan. Zed Idle relies on Vulkan for rendering. If you're experiencing issues, it could be due to:

• Outdated graphics drivers
• Unsupported graphics card (lacking Vulkan support)
• Missing Vulkan runtime libraries

Here are a few things you can try:

1. Update your graphics drivers: Visit NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel's website and download the latest drivers.
2. Check your graphics card's Vulkan support: Search for your GPU model online to see if it supports Vulkan.
3. (Less Common) Install Vulkan runtime libraries: Usually installed with drivers, but you can manually download them from LunarG's website if needed.

Hope this helps troubleshoot the problem! Let us know if any of these steps resolve the issue for you.

It doesn't work neither with OpenGL nor Vulkan (my computer supports Vulkan). I have all the drivers updated by the Intel Driver & Support Assistant. Installed by scoop and also with the zip file, no one works.

I have an Intel(TM) Core i3 with integrated graphics card or Intel UHD Graphics with Windows 11 Pro 24H2

Also I tried all of these versions (that apparently worked to some other people):

• https://github.com/shenjackyuanjie/zed-win-build/releases/tag/0.156.0%2B85eceb7194-1.2.1
• https://github.com/deevus/zed-windows-builds/releases/tag/20250209
• https://github.com/deevus/zed-windows-builds/releases/tag/20241011
• https://github.com/deevus/zed-windows-builds/releases/tag/20240930

Again, no one worked. I verified that i have vcruntime140.dll in %windir%/System32
