Change layer color freezes the program

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

I’m using an up to date version of Rhino 7 and when I double click the color square in the layers panel to change the layer color the program freezes and there is nothing to be done except end task. I have tried giving it time to work but it never returns to normal state. Is it just a bug in the new version or am I doing something wrong?

Another thing I’d like to know is why when writing commands like “mirror” rather obscure commands like “microscribecalibratetip” get suggested first even though I have mirrored quite a few things but never used any of the other commands. I’m so used to my most used commands being suggested that i have crashed the program a few times accidentally triggering “microscribecalibratetip” instead of “mirror”. Does the program not learn from my usage? If not, can I change the pecking order of commands?

will you run the systeminfo command in rhino and paste the result here? I’m willing to bet you need a video card driver update, but that will help us see what your system set up is.

if you pull the second monitor does it still crash?

If not, then have you followed these steps?

Those steps worked. Thanks so much!
