I followed all the steps in [https://juliagpu.gitlab.io/CuArrays.jl/tutorials/generated/intro/](https://juliagpu.gitlab.io/CuArrays.jl/tutorials/generated/intro/) to install Cuda for using it in Julia v. 1.1. I also installed the CUDA Toolkit v. 10.1. After the installation, I run `test CuArrays` and I got the following huge message error:

I only reproduced a part of the error message because it’s very huge. The parts I ommited, indicated by `...` are messages similar to `xt_trmm!: Error During Test at C:\Users\User\.juliapro\JuliaPro_v1.1.1.1\packages\CuArrays\eFBar\test\blas.jl:546 Got exception outside of a @test` and to `error in running finalizer: CUDAdrv.CuError(code=700, meta=nothing)`. I also have the `Test Summary (Pass, Error, Total)`, which I don’t reproduce here becasue of text size restrictions.  
Following another post, I updated all my packages with `Pkg.update()` , I reinstalled `CUDAnative`, `CuArrays` and `CUDAdrv` but hte problem still persists. Has anyone any idea why I have this message? My operating system is Windows 10, 64-bit.

This is [cublasXtStrmm test failures on Windows 10 Julia 1.1 · Issue #124 · JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CuArrays.jl/issues/377)

cublasXt is unused by CuArrays’ high-level wrappers, so you should be safe with this submodule not working properly. But once an error hits, the CUDA library is defunc which explains the massive error output.

Ok thanks 🙂 Hope I will be able to use CUDA anyway 😉
