Hi,
if I run Signal, then is running only white window. Menu don't work (debug log, developer tool...). If I reinstall app, then nothing change, the same problem. The Signal has worked until today.
Here is my log:

Hey Fanda36,

I seem to have a similar issue. Last week i installed signal beta parallel to the production version and after a restart of my pc both versions only show white screens.

Although the windows is white i can drag and drop or mark text in there and press buttons.

How did you solve your issue?

Hi,
I use Comodo Firewall and it has advanced protection of access to OS function (regedit, dll libraries etc.). It was block my Signal. I added an exception for Signal and it solves my problem.

Thank you for your response. Did you have the same symptoms as i described, where all the content is there, you just can't see it or was your window truly empty?

I don't remember for detail. But it was after Signal make autoupdate. Then I can't use him (white screen - screen first comment).

Just for anyone stumbling across this issue:

It seems like either a graphics driver update or running signal on internal graphics fixed the white window issue for me.
