However when I try to launch isaacsim I see the error message Isaacsim 4.5.0 is not responding, force quit or wait.

  3. error message appears that “Isaac Sim Full 4.5.0” is not responding
  4. Launching again locks the issac sim

Additional Information

I did had trouble installing rtx 5070 ti with other drivers so I am not sure downgrading should work but I had difficult installing and detecting nvidia-smi when using lower driver.

Are you following the installation method described in Python Environment Installation — Isaac Sim Documentation? Could you please share the full log output from when Isaac Sim fails to launch?

yes I followed all the instruction mentioned on Python Environment Installation — Isaac Sim Documentation . It also struck sometime and is not responsive even with force quit. The output is at issacsim output - Pastebin.com as the new user I was not allowed more than 4 lines reply
