Virtual device display is black (Genymotion Desktop)

Windows:

1. You are using a laptop with a discrete and an integrated GPU (e.g. Intel + Nvidia or Intel + AMD). In this case, you need to force Genymotion Desktop (player.exe) to use the NVidia or AMD high-performance discrete GPU instead of the Intel low-performance IGP.
   For instructions and details, please refer to this article.
2. Your graphics card does not match Genymotion Desktop requirements. Please refer to Genymotion Desktop hardware requirements.
   

   Warning

   Due to a bug with Intel drivers, Genymotion Desktop is not compatible with Intel HD 3000 on Windows.

3. Your display drivers are not up-to-date. Please upgrade them to their latest version.
4. Your firewall may block Genymotion Desktop. If you have a firewall, make sure that connections for local network 192.168.56.0/24 are allowed. For more information, please see Genymotion Desktop and firewalls.

Linux:

1. Your version of VirtualBox may lack the /sbin/ifconfig command, which sets up the necessary network interfaces. Install the “net-tools” package by running

   sudo apt install net-tools

   or

   sudo dnf install net-tools

2. If you have an NVidia or AMD GPU, make sure to use the proprietary drivers. See On Linux, the virtual device display is black/white/distorted.
