If you're still experiencing the issue, here are some steps you can try:

-open your pro folder, find the .exe and right-click on properties. Then go to compatibility and select ' disable full-screen optimalization' in addition to compatibility mode.

-reninstall video card drivers and reset pc

-'fix' the refresh rate of the screen to 50 Hz instead of 60

-Try it in DX9 (make sure you install directx9 first) using -force-d3d9; or this -force-d3d11; or -force-opengl or -popup

-update graphics drivers for your gpu

-replace directx 11 and reinstall it; maybe update it first

-upgrade to directx 12

-if you have a nvidia card: download NVIDEA GeForce Experience and update the drivers

-right click 'properties'>'compatibility' and running the 'compatibility troubleshooter'. Then clicked 'try recommended settings'

-turning off MSI Afterburner's OSD and running KSP as admin.

-possible display driver issue where it cant detect your display so update display drivers

- deactivating VSync in the graphic card settings, for example in the Catalyst Control Center

- sometimes it is ok to enter "Alt+Enter" to switch to windowed mode. If this helps it will give you a hint which screen resolution can be safely applied.

-Move your PRO folder from C drive to D drive. This might do the trick.

-Download all of the possible windows update and download all of the files related to Direct. This might also help

-Run a virtual machine

 

Solution Calahan mentioned:

"So the other steps aforementioned are the following, from this post about a similar issue on GTA V:

Next, you want to download this tool called aio-runtime. What it does is scan your PC for missing DirectX files and visual++ and install them for you. What's weird is that GTA 5 relies on some of these, yet the game doesn't install them itself.. Download everything that is related to DirecX and runtime once it is done scanning.

 

Link to the tool in question here

 

Let it scan and update everything needed, then restart your PC after running them"

 

 

I hope I could help you. Good luck!
