Invisable battle.net app on my desktop

Hello

I’m looking to get back into WoW with my bf but im having issues with Battle net app as its invisible on my desktop.

Looking around I have noticed others with the same issues and I have tried doing all these with no success.
Things I’ve tried.

  • Installed latest nvidia graphics drivers
  • Uninstall/reinstall with deleting cache and trying to install into a different folders.
  • run as admin
  • making sure “High Performance Nvidia processor.” is on during reinstalling and tried other settings when I reinstalled.

I’m kinda out of ideas and was really hoping to get my sub on and get back into the game :frowning:

Any help would be awesome!

Hey, Elviladia! Thanks for including the DxDiag! It’s helpful to check for this issue in particular :slight_smile:

There’s a known issue with Acer laptops (Predator and Aspire models in particular), where the intel drivers 22.20.16.4691 causes the Blizzard Application or Hearthstone to be invisible. It does appear to match this exact situation as the Intel drivers are the ones we’re aware of causing this issue.

The common fix that we’ve found is to rollback the drivers to an earlier version. Here’s Intels 2016 drivers that we’ve found help fix the issue. Once it’s installed, follow the guide on Intel’s website here. You may receive a compatibility error otherwise.
