Problems starting Rhino

hey everyone,

I’ve been having massive problems with Rhino since yesterday. Rhino starts only after 3-4 min or not at all in normal mode. Files Rhino then tries to open, but then freezes.

Rhino can then only be started in safe mode.

I have not installed or updated any plugins in the last 2 weeks.

Does anyone have similar problems?

Hi @ERahjes
Could be a Windows update that has compromised something, eg. a graphics driver. Start by running the SystemInfo in Rhino and posting the result here. That’ll give people a good starting point for helping you out.
HTH, Jakob

Hello- please start Rhino any way you can, and then in Options > Plug-ins page, disable the Enscape plug-in. Then close and re-open Rhino - is that any better?
