    Sergey Vakulenko Hello
    
    The issue was resolved with reinstalling Discovery and they had redownloaded the files from downloads have you tried doing that already?

    Charudatta Bandgar, I've downloaded the installation media from Customer Portal initially. Now I uninstalled Discovery, downloaded the media from Discovery forum from the link you provided (the package looks identical to that on Customer Portal) and installed Discovery again. It didn't help.

    It turned out the problem in my case was on graphics drivers' side. Discovery was not willing to work on latest drivers from nVidia website (471.68, I've tried Game Ready and Studio versions), but is working on version 466.18 downloaded from laptop manufacturer's website (I have Alienware 17 R4 with GTX 1080).
