My LMStudio worked just fine but recently I started getting a message:  
“Failed to load model  
error loading model: Unsupported device”  
I didnt make any changes to my hardware. But it now refuses to work with my  
GeForce GTX 1050 with Max-Q Design. If I set the CPU only llama.cpp - it works fine.  
But when i try to use vulkan.cpp the error comes up.  
Although everything worked fine a month ago  
Anyone can help?

It seems runtime version issue of LM Studio…

Solved by reinstalling video drivers.
