Here’s some issues I found with your log that might help.

  • You have GDB debugging enabled. This will cause citra not to launch games. This is only intended for debugging purposes and should be disabled in settings.
  • You are running out of date drivers for your GPU. You need to install the most recent driver for your graphics card from Intel’s website. Support for Intel® Graphics
  • The CPU Clock percentage is not 100%. You may experience unexpected game speed.

GPU Driver Version: 27.20.100.8854

This driver is outdated, you need to update.

  1. Make sure Windows is updated, you should be on 21H2 or later. Check what you have currently by opening winver in Windows search.

  2. Download Intel® Graphics – Windows* DCH Drivers from https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/149090/intel-core-i38145u-processor-4m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz/downloads.html

  3. Turn off GDB Stub in the Debug tab:

You should also set CPU Clock in Citra back to 100%, otherwise emulation will be unstable.
