3. I'm getting blank black screen after opening BlueStacks

The blank black screen in BlueStacks is due to RAM issues. Make sure your machine has minimum 1 GB RAM installed.

If BlueStacks is showing black screen even though your machine has more than 1 GB RAM, then restart the Windows machine and disable antivirus and all background running tasks temporarily.

If you are unable to edit the MSI file properly and find it difficult to do them, then download the BlueStacks modified version of the offline installer (.msi file).

After downloading double-click the .msi file (no need to change any table values) and follow the on-screen instructions to install BlueStacks without the graphics card.

5. Edit with Orca option is not available after right-clicking on MSI file. 

If your Windows machine is not showing "Edit for Orca" option in right-click menu, then you need to log in as administrator to perform this action.

Final Words

The BlueStacks low graphics version configurations may incur you certain performance issues. But you will be able to install BlueStacks without any hassle.
