Hello, and thank you for reporting this issue ! I'm seeing Hyper-V as the GPU, which is usually an indicator that you are trying to run MIDIVisualizer via WSL (Linux on Windows subsystem). I don't know if graphics applications are well supported or not.

Zofrox, I don't know if you are in the same case. This message can also pop if your GPU drivers are not up-to-date, if you are using a virtual machine/Docker, or if your GPU doesn't support OpenGL 3.2 (which can be the case for older Intel integrated GPUs for instance).

Some days ago I used the app, and it worked perfectly, sometimes I had to uninstall, cuz I wouldn't open, but now it says something like glfw3 couldn't be open something like that

Hello, I've added additional error messages in the latest 7.1 release. Could you try running this new version and reporting in this issue the error you're getting? Thank you!

Hello again, the latest 7.2 release has added extra safety when re-opening MIDIVisualizer on Ubuntu and Windows. If you have a bit of time, I would be interested in knowing if this helps for the problem detailed above. Thanks!

FWIW I am just downloading this for the first time today and got 7.2 - I'm on Kubuntu 23.04 on XWindows - and same issue.
