Yes, I follow the VCPKG reports and MR about openCV.

Not sure. See below.

Updating openCV in VCPKG VM requires a large rebuild which implies a lot of
dependencies to be recompiled and it does not work yet. So I let the VM in
preview state with the older OpenCV version.

But to come back to the original problem if i remember : the opencl
detection by opencv under windows with NVIdia GPU, please look the work
around discovered by users in this report :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511487#c8

Please comment in this bug report if this solution works for you.
Thanks in advance
