When Ignition is launched, it works for about a minute or two and then I receive the error “loadlibrary failed with error 87 when launching ignition”. I reinstalled ignition and java on my computer and the issue is still occuring within the Designer. Any advice? Thanks!

kade.castille,  
Have you figured this issue out?  
I just had a client say he is receiving the same error msg.

A quick Google search tells me this might have something to do with an [outdated graphics driver](https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000020069). Might require a complete reinstall.

The cause when this was happening to me was due to corrupted system files on the Windows OS for the VM that I was running Ignition on. I ended up starting over on a fresh Windows 10 virtual machine and this issue never arose afterwards. Go to your command prompt and type in “sfc /scannow”, hit enter, let the command run. It will tell you if there are corrupted files on your machine.

Thank you all for the advice. The issue I was dealing was corrupted files.
