Randomly when already having multiple documents open if i open a new one it will not render and all i can see is a white screen - i am only using text view for things like php and twig  / html / css. When opeing dreamweaver new it does show briefly the same white screen but then will finish rendering but when the problem appears the same white screen will stay white.
this is lastest 21.8 dreamweaver and a fully updated windows 11

    This sounds like a GPU issue. You might try the following:

    1. Disable screensavers & other non-essential background processes. 
    2. Get the latest drivers from your graphics card maker’s website.
    3. Switch to Code/Design view (Ctrl+Shift+F11).  Live takes up more resources.

    i want to add that the problem also happens after my computer has activated its screen saver / gone to sleep - then ½ of the open documents will have the white screen that only restarting can solve.
