Please help, I cannot render on Rhino 7

Hi Does anyone knows how to fix this? I’m using Rhino 7 on Windows 11 and I’ve tried so many times to render but it just keeps stopping and saying that it is ready at a random number and sometimes even stop at 1 sample when it should be like 500 or 1500 (just like in the pictures below) but it works fine before I updated to Windows 11 so I’m not sure what could be the problem
thanks in advance!


Hi -
Have you looked at the Rhino Render Advanced Settings section a bit further down in the Rendering panel to make sure that you are not overriding the production render quality?
Also, please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

I’m finding the same thing. I think there’s a problem with the Rhino Render Plugin that is set as the default. If I change back to the Legacy Rhino Render everything seems to work correctly. Perhaps McNeel could offer some advice here?
