Gray Screen/Missing Geometry in Fluent

      When I open Fluent the graphics window is completely gray. I can still run simulations and collect data but the geometry and mesh will not load into the window. I'm also seeing an issue with Design Modeler and CFD Post where the geometry will not show in the graphics window even though the data file is loaded. I have a similar issue with Fluent meshing where it cuts out part of the window. As far as I can tell the graphics driver of my workstation is updated however I don't know what else the issue could be. I am working with ANSYS 2023 R2.

      Does this machine have multiple graphics cards in it?
      If you ru:
      dxdiag
      How many displays are listed and what are the Driver Dates?
      Ex: Windows 11 would say Display and Render
      Windows 10 would show Display 1 Display 2


      If you have multiple Graphics cards(Intel and Nvidia), verify that the Nvidia is the Preferred Graphics.
      Also, verify that the latest drive is installed.

        I have one display listed and the driver date is 9/9/2024. I only have one graphics card (Nvidia) and from what I have checked it is updated.
