Hi! My layout sidebar stopped working after I have installed today’s Windows 10 update. I can see the panel icon but if I click it, it shows previously opened sidebar: properties, display, named views, etc. If panel undocked, then it is just empty. Rhino Safe mode works in the same fashion. Toolbar Reset did not help. How could I make it work?

Hi Veronika,

We are very much aware of the situation. Currently you have two options:

1.) Roll back the Windows 10 Creator update. If you Google this topic you will find lots of instruction on how to do this.

2.) Change your display’s “Scale and layout” to 100% (right-clicking on your Windows Desktop and pick Display settings"). Scales other than 100% are the cause of the issue you are having.

Note, if, after changing your DPI scaling to 100%, your display is too small to use, then you can drop the resolution of your display to something usable. (again right-clicking on your Windows Desktop and pick Display settings").

– Dale

SR14 includes: Improvements to Rhino when running on High DPI displays, especially on Windows 10 Creators Update. Rhino still doesn’t look fantastic because the icons were designed for regular DPI displays, and they all get scaled up for use on High DPI displays. But the UI should be sized well and easier to use. Fixes to several dialog boxes that do not display properly on Windows 10 Creators Update. A new SetDpiAwareness command th…
