Rhino suddenly running slow, viewports look bugged

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

My shaded and rendered viewports never look like this, and the osnaps look bugged because they’re squares and not circles. And everything is running slow.

I have a feeling this is something with my computer or graphics or something because photoshop is also suddenly running slow. I already tried updating my graphics driver, resetting, and resetting rhino cache.

This isnt the first time this has happened, but hours later or a shutdown later it would return to normal. But now it’s been staying like this for way too long.

yep, your graphics drivers are messed up.

reinstall the intel and the nvida

use the intel update tool, not the device manager in windows,

this is the tell-

Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (Intel) Memory: 0MB, Driver date: 6-21-2006 (M-D-Y). OpenGL Ver: 1.1.0

and
ATTENTION:
No graphics device is being used. Either an error occurred on startup, or certain devices have been disabled.
See below for any possible configuration changes that may help resolve this issue.

then grab a new driver for your nvida and install it using the custom install option. Choose “clean install”

restart your machine and try Rhino again.

also this thread may help-
