please provide debug-level logs - see https://docs.libretro.com/guides/generating-retroarch-logs/ - and share them here
generally, though, "it was working and now it's not" means either a setting was changed (either in RA or at the system level) or a driver/OS update borked something

#

is that the entirety of the log, or was the beginning omitted?

#

but i would be leaning towards a problematic driver update

#

or rollback

#

is this a desktop or a laptop?

#

either way, there are newer video drivers available (from 2020) - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18606/intel-graphics-driver-for-windows-15-33.html

#

so the question comes down to what did change between when it did work and when it stopped working.

#

to rule out changes on the RA end, you can rename retroarch.cfg and retroarch-core-options.cfg, fire up RA, and see if games will launch in Citra

#

(renaming those files will cause RA to recreate them with the default options set)

#

if there's no change, you can delete the newly-generated ones and rename the previous ones back

#

ok - so this indicates that the change lies elsewhere in your computer

#

either from an OS update, or another program that was installed/updated

#

out of curiousity, from the start menu run eventvwr.msc

#

in the left pane, expand Windows Logs and choose Application

#

are there two or three panes horizontally?

#

ok, in the bottom pane, go to the details tab

#

in the EventData section, what is the ModuleName?

#

(assuming it's present)

#

bah

#

well, if you use Filter Current Log to limit Event sources to Application Error and Application Hang, you should be able to see when the first RA hangs were

#

the legacy add / remove programs control panel (start/run appwiz.cpl) can be sorted by install date, see if something lines up

#

beyond that, see if something jogs your memory regarding another change on the machine.

#

best of luck!

#

that's the video driver

#

the integrated intel graphics

#

actually, check one other thing for me

#

look in the retroarch\shaders\presets folder

#

is there a Citra folder?

#

ok

#

if you have a default opengl shader config (retroarch.glslp) rename it to retroarch.glslp.bak to disable it and try again

#

don't touch that

#

those are the shader presets you browse through

#

any core-specific shader presets you save would be in shaders\presets<corename>

#

ok - so is there a retroarch.glslp in the shaders folder?

#

ok, so no shaders enabled (intentionally or otherwise) that are causing the hang
