FormIt Versions: 2022, 2023 & 2024

Issue:

FormIt won’t start and is stuck at the launching screen. Re-installation doesn’t fix the launching issue.

Causes:

Multiple factors could lead to FormIt launch failure.

  • Faulty installation
  • Graphic Driver issue
  • C++ issue
  • *NVIDIA RTX gaming graphic card using the game-ready drive

Solution:

The troubleshooting process start with a clean uninstall.

  1. Verify the user’s graphic card type and drive version
    • NVIDIA RTX Gaming graphic card may be using the game-ready driver. Make sure to download Studio driver.                                                                     
    • For all other graphic drivers, make sure the driver is up to date.
  2. Verify if a user is using a 4K monitor with generic graphics card. If this is case, disable the 4K monitor before re-installation
  3. Install C++ redistributor files
  4. Download FormIt from Products and service page
  5. After installation is completed, go to https://formit.autodesk.com/page/download/ and download the latest release update.
  6. Install the update
  7. Reboot the computer
  8. Launch the FormIt but make sure the 4K monitor is turned off before the launch.
