Hi,

Processing does not working on Windows 10 (last update). 64 bits 32Mo of ram.  
when I try to run Processing it takes more 3 minutes to appear on screen and after I write code setup and draw it takes and other 3 minutes and Viewport does not appear even after an hour of waiting. ☹  
Does some know about this trouble, it seems some poeple have the problem and I don’t see any solution.

Regards.  
GG.

what can i say,  
i run processing 3.4 on

- win7 32bit 2GB RAM
- win7 64bit 4GB RAM
- Raspbian Linux 32bit 1GB RAM

and yes,we have to see that intro picture for about ?15sec?  
and then the IDE editor window come up.

and with a code like

```auto
void setup(){}
void draw(){}

```

press run and see the small canvas window in about 3 sec…

so pls install processing 3.4 again, and report detailed every step  
incl file names…

When I am running unzipped processing verion nothing appears before 2 or 3 minutes.  
The windwow appears after few minures with no code, I paste your code .  
When I am running the code you send me, nothing appears and I try to rn the code  
and the java application must be deleted with Task Maganager, otherwise we  
cannot delete IDE application.  
To install processing I downloaded, I unzip container and from the directive unzipped  
I create directory named Processing in my Program Files and I run processing.  
That it.

i already wanted to ask you if you possibly have a cheap graphic card ??  
but i worry you would not understand the joke…

> [@Gils](#):

> processing verion

i asked you to do it all again,  
and pls be very exact in your description…

download what file from where  
unzip to where  
start what file how

even i not know windows 10  
i expect ( like from windows 7 ) that,  
at the very first start, you need to allow java to run ??  
if you there disabled that???

java is always permitted to run, on this PC I am running Arduino IDE and java Platform SE binary is working fine.  
When I quit Arduino IDE the java machine is removed correctly from the task manager.

When I try to run Processing in the task manager I have multiple instance of java and it stay forever until I reboot the machine.
