Rendering issues using Manipulate (Win 10; M 12.3)?

I am having rendering issues with the slider bar and buttons etc when using Manipulate command. Exactly the same notebook runs fine on colleagues' Mac machines.

Slider control does not render, buttons do not render, and the appearance of the input generally is obviously not rendering correctly. Please see the screenshot.

Windows 10 (64 bit) OS Mathematica v12.3.0.0

Any help/suggestions very welcome. I could not find anything on this issue whilst searching the Community questions.

Many thanks &Wolfram Notebook Rendering issues with Manipulate

Is there a way to run Mathematica in command prompt that would change the PreferredGPU to software? Or a registry key that allows this change?

CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, {RenderingOptions, "PreferredGPU"}]

Yes.

<path_to_installation_directory>\Mathematica.exe /preferredgpu software

I had the same issue. Ian Hojnicki gave a workaround in this thread (check towards the end). Setting the global rendering option "PreferredGPU" to "Software"

Fantastic!!!! Thank you very much Hans and Ian... using Ian's command: Evaluate 

CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, {RenderingOptions, "PreferredGPU"}] = "Software"

and restarting the app. did the trick.

Huge thank you!
