Every time i try to open rhino i get prompted with the error message “This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose ‘switch to’ to activate the busy program and correct the problem”
Clicking retry doesn’t do anything and clicking switch to just opens windows start menu, and selecting rhino from there doesn’t do anything. I have restarted multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled rhino with no success. Every other program works it’s just rhino that will open on the start menu then go away and give the error message.
I get this on one of two machines. If you keep hitting retry Rhino will always eventually start, but you need patience.
I haven’t made much of an attempt to get to the bottom of it. A suspicion is that it might be connected to the Maxwell Render plugin, simply because that is installed on the errant machine but not the other. Do you have Maxwell?
I have vray and enscape downloaded but not maxwell render, it lets me boot rhino in safe mode temporarily to get the system info from there. Rhino was also running just fine last night and earlier this morning.

Hi @meezyye
Start by updating your driver - it’s old. If that doesn’t help, try to disable all the non-native Rhino plugins (Enscape, Vray etc.) and enable them one at a time - hopefully that will help you find the culprit!
