Hi @Jazzguy,

You can disable OpenGLRendering from the ScalerSettings application.

  • MacOS:

    • Press the Windows key to open the search and type “ ScalerSettings

Go to the Help page and click “Turn OFF OpenGL”:

Thanks so much, that worked! For some reason, adding the line of code manually to the settings file didn’t work.
