I have no success with the CefSharp with windows forms. The project compiles. But the browser control never launches. The log includes the following two messages.

[1105/111450.741:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(119)] Failed to launch GPU process.

[1105/111450.835:ERROR:gpu_process_transport_factory.cc(1027)] Lost UI shared context.

I can't find a sample project in its entirety. Where can I look or help? I'm using VS2017 community edition.

What I have tried:

I've tried to use older GitHub versions without success. And different builds for X86 and X64. They all have the same problem.

From what I recall, and this is from a few years back, I had to make sure my hosting app was x86. This was my initialization sequence:

Cef.EnableHighDPISupport();
CefSettings settings = new CefSettings();
settings.CachePath = "[somePath]\cache");
settings.RemoteDebuggingPort = 8088;  // If you want to enable remote debugging
Cef.Initialize(settings);
browser = new ChromiumWebBrowser("www.google.com");

and hooking up some events and registering a .NET object:

browser.FrameLoadEnd += OnPageLoaded;
browser.LoadError += OnLoadError;
browser.ConsoleMessage += OnConsoleMessage;

browser.RegisterJsObject("dotNet", scriptObject);

and don't forget before you exit:

Cef.Shutdown();

Hope that helps!
