Description: For Libreoffice 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.0.3 Intel HD Graphics 520 is not compatible with Skia under Windows 7. At the first Writer start: Dialog box frozen, checkbox unusable. At the second Libreoffice start Libreoffice windows is blank ( after profile created ). If Skia is disabled in safe mode first, everything is working fine in normal mode after Libreoffice is restarted. At the first start after standard installation: ProductName=LibreOffice Version=7.0.3.1 BuildID=d7547858d014d4cf69878db179d326fc3483e082 URL=https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/submit/ VulkanVendor=0x8086 VulkanDevice=0x1916 VulkanAPI=1.0.31 VulkanDriver=0.16.3 VulkanDeviceType=integrated VulkanDeviceName=Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 UseSkia=true Language=fr-FR ShutDown=true Skia should be disable for this device. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Libreoffice 2.Launch Writer 3.Clic on the checkbox in the popup (frozen). Actual Results: Many graphics problems ( checkbox, trees, blank windows, ... ) Expected Results: If Skia is disabled, everything seem working fine Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: ProductName=LibreOffice Version=7.0.3.1 BuildID=d7547858d014d4cf69878db179d326fc3483e082 URL=https://crashreport.libreoffice.org/submit/ VulkanVendor=0x8086 VulkanDevice=0x1916 VulkanAPI=1.0.31 VulkanDriver=0.16.3 VulkanDeviceType=integrated VulkanDeviceName=Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 UseSkia=true Language=fr-FR ShutDown=true
The Skia denylist [1]currently blocks Skia Vulkan vector rendering on all Intel GPUs with driver builds <=0.16.2 Guess the Intel stanza needs to include the 0.16.3 driver build of this report For OP you might update to latest Intel drivers for the Intel HD Garphics 520 GPU [2] and see if it improves the Skia Vulkan Driver and API level for your GPU. =-ref-= [1] https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/skia/skia_denylist_vulkan.xml?r=f8d6eb6f [2] https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29972/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-45-?product=88355
Intel HD Graphics 520 drivers version used: 21.20.16.5127 ( Lastest from Lenovo site for this Notebook ( L470 i5-6300U )) I tried with the lastest Intel ( 21.20.16.5164 ) ( your link ) but same problems. Skia must be disable, so that everything works.

The Intel HD Graphics 520 GPU *is* capable of Skia Vulkan 1.2 API support, think we only need 1.1 for full function on LibreOFfice. Apparently not with older driver base line still supporting Windows 7sp1--your hardware would probably support Vulkan rendering with a Windows 10 reload. But we know that would be painful choice. > Skia must be disable, so that everything works. Fortunately Skia is supported fine with that driver, what is not supported is only the Vulkan rendering engine (as replacement for OpenGL accelerated rendering). The denylist process simply disables the Vulkan accelerated vector rendering. The rendering remains Skia but is done fully with raster. Alternative rendering (fully disabling Skia lib based rendering) and using GDI calls remains possible, as does reactivating OpenGL vector rendering. Anyhow, the action for you and others would be the denylist entry change, blocking Vulkan use for Intel drivers "less_equal" "0.16.3"
For OP so we have a record, would you post the content of the Skia log after the driver updates. Does Vulkan API or Driver change with the latest driver build?
