Object Selection Issues

I work in rhino everyday.

I am noticing a problem is developing with selecting objects.

Often the pointer fails to select objects, or selects objects behind rather than in-front, or selects an object that is somewhat out of view.

It only happens on this PC.

Is it possible that the graphics card is degrading and or the driver buggy?

here is the printout of systeminfo:

Hi Arkadius -

It’s always possible that a Windows update messes up a GPU driver. When you’re having problems, make sure that Windows is fully updated and then update the GPU drivers.

Apart from that, it sounds like the issue is machine-specific. Have you tried to use a different mouse on this machine?
