![]() That failure causes Dropbox to throw up the “Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat” error, which suggests that there is a problem with the computer’s graphics card/hardware.įortunately there is a way to instruct Qt: “Instead of using the computer’s graphics hardware for OpenGL, use software libraries”. ![]() So when you run Dropbox, both Qt and OpenGL will be started.īut for some unknown reason, when Dropbox is started as a Windows Service in Session 0, Qt and OpenGL fail to initialize. In turn, Qt requires OpenGL - a cross-platform API for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics. The explanation is a bit technical, but here goes…ĭropbox uses Qt - a popular cross-platform development framework.
