As soon as I use \usepackage{graphicx} in the preamble, the compiling does not work anymore. The strange thing is that I do not get a warning or an error, it just does not compile (regardless whether I use pdflatex, latex or quick build). I am using Windows 10, MikTex and Texmaker.
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
I would like to add a figure.
\end{document}
When I click on PDFLaTeX and afterwards on View Pdf, nothing happens (no warning, no error, just the blank white sheet). As soon as I delete \usepackage{graphicx} , it works perfectly. Any idea? Thank you very much in advance!
