GLFW couldn't create an OpenGL window.

Working on Julia on Windows. How to solve this problem?
Using GLMakie v0.8.8

On windows? That's really weird! Anything special about the system?
Can you post the full system configuration?

And when you run using GLFW; GLFW.Window() in a normal terminal/powershell/cmd, it just throws that error?

[vladdez]

And all drivers for the GPU are correctly installed and you dont run this in WSL or something?

[vladdez]

I run it on Visual Studio Code and it was working before.

[SimonDanisch]

Since this is directly calling into C and doesn't do anything weird, and GLFW hasn't changed at all in the last year or so, my only idea is that you must have gotten a faulty driver update, or something like that.
Unless, something else is different now on your system, but this more or less directly calls into the OS to open a window, and Windows has been very stable with driver support in the last 5 years or so.
Btw, which Julia version is this?

[vladdez]

Julia 1.9.2
