What are the symptoms? There have been reports of the IDE misbehaving after the PC went to sleep; I do not know if that is limited to Windows and the solution could be to reboot your PC.

If rebooting does not solve the issue, you can read on.

There is no obvious error in your output. Please post the complete output (using code tags as described in How to get the best out of this forum).

it was previously working, rebooting doesnt work, and yes I did get it from the site, there is a warning about Haswell Vulkan support is incomplete tho need more insite on the warning message

downloaded and tried the app image still nah

Hi @yujiitadoriii

ICD is the acronym for "installable client driver". This seems to be mostly often related to the GPU (i.e., the graphics card on your computer).

I haven't seen previous reports of this specific symptom, but when other users have had problems related to the graphics card, the workaround has been to add the --disable-gpu to the Arduino IDE command line invocation.

Give that a try and let us know whether it fixes the problem.
