    Did you have to change the source code before compiling? I had errors pertaining to LPCSTR ↔ LPCWSTR casting. I had to change the method call to CreateWindowExW, with 0L as the first argument, too. I'm using build number 18362 and VS 2019 Enterprise.

    Nope, I just made a new Windows C++ project, copy/pasted the code over the default stuff, and compiled it with no hassle. (Visual Studio 2019 Community.) I did an x64 build.
    I'll post the whole project here if you want to check and see if anything is different from yours.

    Maybe change the Unicode setting of your project? That decides if LPCTSTR ends up as LPCSTR or LPCWSTR.

    Hmm, I've been using a CMakeLists.txt and VS Code. Maybe that's why. The Visual Studio .sln file provided by @Aaron44126 works fine.

    Used just Windows graphics settings, though I suppose assigning GPU in NVIDIA c.p. will do the same

    I build the app with CMakeLists.txt, with ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DUNICODE) and ADD_DEFINITIONS(-D_UNICODE) to enable wchar support. Sorry, forgot to mention it.

    Are there any rumors about a successor to the 7730/7740/7750? New versions usually get released around May from what I recall. I think it's getting to be time to replace my 7730 with something more powerful.

    Nothing yet. The schedule depends more on Intel than Dell. You can expect them around 2 months after laptops with Tiger Lake H CPUs start appearing for sale. That hasn’t happened yet but it is supposed to be second quarter.

    So potentially a few more months until they are announced and begin shipping?
