The Bitwig Studio window is not displayed correctly after updating to version 5.2 on Windows

There might be an incompatibility with your graphics card and certain graphics backends. Take the following steps to switch the backend.

  • Open the Windows Command Prompt by clicking the magnifier in the Windows taskbar and type in "CMD".
  • Paste the following command into the Command Prompt:

echo skia-gl > "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Bitwig Studio\graphics-backend"

  • Hit Enter

  • Start Bitwig to check if the problem persists.

If the problems persist, replace "skia-gl" with another backend to switch to and repeat the above steps.

For Windows this can be:

  • skia-d3d
  • skia-vulkan
  • skia-gl
