java - Can't launch javaFx application with intellij anymore

Question

I am developping a JavaFx application with IntelliJ Idea, and until today, all worked fine, but now for no reason (maybe i did something wrong without knowing it) whenever i try to launch a JavaFx application i get this on the console :

Process finished with exit code -1073740791 (0xC0000409)

I already tried to re-install IntelliJ but it didn't worked. Even for a new JavaFx application i get this error, and no window is launched and i get the same message.

I can't find anyone who had this problem so i am asking here hoping to find an answer :)

Answer 1

The problem comes with the latest Nvidia Driver version: 378.49, this driver breaks some java.exe execution such as Android application compilations.

I rolled back my Nvidia Driver in Windows 10 to version 376.33 following these steps:

1. Right Click in the Windows button (left-bottom side of screen)
2. Click Device Manager
3. Double-click on Display Adapters
4. Double-click on your NVIDIA GPU
5. Select the "Driver" tab
6. Select "Upload Driver..."
7. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
8. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
9. Select "NVIDIA Geforce Version: 21.21.13.7633 [11/12/2016] from the given list
10. Click "Next" in the right-bottom corner
11. After the driver has been installed, reboot the system.

After the reboot java.exe should work as usual.

Hope this helps more people in the same situation, I wasted 2 days looking for solutions going around Gradle, Android and Java re-installations.
