feat(desktop): Add option to disable hardware acceleration on Windows #10424
Some Windows users experience rendering issues, black screens, or poor performance with the desktop app due to GPU/driver compatibility problems.
Proposed Solution
Add a settings toggle to disable hardware acceleration (GPU rendering) on Windows. This allows users with problematic GPU configurations to fall back to software rendering.
Use Cases
Users with older or incompatible GPU drivers
Users running in virtualized environments (VMs, RDP)
Users experiencing visual glitches or black screens on startup
Additional Context
This is a common feature in other Electron/Tauri apps (VS Code, Discord, Chrome all have this option). The setting would add --disable-gpu flag to the WebView on Windows when enabled.
