Touchgfx simulation error

[rohamid]

Hello everyone,

I recently downloaded TouchGFX version 4.23.2 and tried running the example on my STM32F7508-DK. However, when I click the simulation button, I encounter these errors. Can anyone help me with this issue? I'm running TouchGFX on Windows 11

I still couldn't get the simulator running on Windows 11, even after following the recommendations from @MM..1 However, I tried a fresh install of Windows 10, and I was able to run the simulator there."

There is a chance that one of the installed software on your Windows 11 has conflicts with TouchGFX, especially due to these error messages:

Since the TouchGFX code does not change based on the Windows version it is running on, and there are cases that TouchGFX can run with no issues on Windows 11, I would recommend installing TouchGFX on a freshly installed Windows 11 as well to ensure it's functionality. 

But, I'm glad that you can run TouchGFX on Windows 10 correctly.
