Rhino 7 not starting

Hi everyone

Since the update to Windows 11 Version 24H2 (OS Build 26085.1) Rhino won’t start anymore.
When trying to start Rhino no window pops up. However, there is a task in the task manager.

I already tried to repair the installation and do a fresh install. Both attempts to solve the issue did not work.

Does anybody know how to solve this?

Kind regards

Hi Luc,

Try repairing the microsoft redistributables, then do a repair of Rhino

  1. Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
  2. Right-click Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (2012-2017) and choose Repair.

Rhino open in safemode? (via windows start> Rhino 7 in SafeMode)

scratch that, it appears to that particular insider preview Windows OS build

having the same issue.
tried almost everything :frowning:

Hi Guy Levy,

Are you running the Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26080.1100 (ge_release) as well?

hello
Windows 11 Insider Preview 26090.1 (ge_release)

Hello,
Windows 11 Insider Preview 26090.1 (ge_release)

These are early release builds of Windows and shouldn’t be considered stable.

Same problem with release 26100.1 ge_release
I rolled back to the previous release, tried everything, drivers, reinstall, run with admin, etc.

One suspect i have is the licencing verification process, there’s an event that coincides when i start RHINO.

The McNeel licencing service maybe? not sure.
WIll wait for next release.
