You can try going into Properties>View>OpenGL and turning off GPU tessellation. You are going to have issues with that GPU (unsupported ARM graphics processor). If you recently purchased the computer and will doing a lot of CAD work you would be better of returning it and getting a nvidia.

Hi I have unchecked but it is still not working.

You can try updating the driver, they may add additional OpenGL support to the Snapdragon, we will continue to try to work around the limitations but for now it needs to be on the unsupported hardware list.

Windows ARM is not supported for Rhino. We did make some adjustments in 8.12 to try and at least get curves to start showing up on these computers.
