    The error "GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye." is a common issue in Electron-based programs that use the sandbox feature. There are a few ways to fix this issue:

    1. Run the program with the --no-sandbox option: This option disables the sandbox feature of Electron and allows the program to run without any issues. To do this, right-click on the program icon and select Properties. In the Target field, add "--no-sandbox" at the end of the command.
    2. Move the program to the C drive: Another solution is to move the program to the C drive. This is because Windows may block some files and folders from running in non-secure locations. So, try moving the program to the C drive and see if the issue is resolved.
    3. Update your graphics card drivers: The issue may also be caused by outdated or corrupted graphics card drivers. Try updating your graphics card drivers to the latest version.
    4. Disable hardware acceleration: Disabling hardware acceleration in the program settings can also fix the issue. To do this, open the program settings and navigate to the advanced settings. Then, disable the hardware acceleration option.
    5. Reinstall the program: If none of the above solutions work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the program. This may fix any corrupted files or settings that are causing the issue.
