Form Designer Loads Blank Screen or is Not Interactive

Why isn't my form created from UiPath.Form.Activities loading?

Issue

Form loads as blank white form. Minimizing or maximizing the form window results in the form content displaying. User is unable to interact with UI components like radio buttons.

On Iris Xe Graphics, UI elements don't refresh after they are initially rendered on applications that leverage Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) when hardware acceleration is active.

Below are a couple of applications that have shown this issue:

  • Amazon Chime
  • Amazon WorkSpaces
  • Amazon Backup
  • Mitel MiCollab
  • Luminar

This issue has been reported in the github community and the Intel Graphics Community.
