I have been using LRC for years on another computer. I just downloaded it on my laptop and the screen is grayed out.

    Make sure your GPU driver is up to date (go to the GPU maker's website, don't rely on windows update). Second, if this laptop has a HDR display, disable the HDR mode and check if that helps.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

     

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.

    That looks like "Lights Out" mode (L key to cycle modes) except that Lights Out mode is meant to 'isolate' the active image by leaving that showing normally while everything else is dimmed. Here the active image is also being dimmed.

     

    So I would start by seeing if you can disable graphics acceleration, and how that affects the issue.
