See my updates post. Black screen on launch – 9070 XT - #5 by Absconditus-11833 I was finally able to find my own resolution. Also note: by default BlizzardBrowser.exe nor Warcraft III.exe, are pre-set to run as admin, and neither should be set to launch with admin permissions. Noted that you’re an Nvidia enjoyer from your system specs, same steps apply except you would whitelist, “C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\” for anything more modern than a 1080GTX. To my announce without the reboot steps, simply disabling both AV and Folder Access Control, does nothing.

Editing here. I found a fix.

  1. I added the warcaft3.exe in nvidia painel

  2. I have windows 11. On graphic elements option, I choosed warcraft 3 and set to High Performance and saved ( It was already but I forced again )

  3. I launched game and during Black screen I hit: F10, F1 up to F12 and the game launched

After I tried a lot of things this worked.
