You’ll have to make sure your computer is using the NVIDIA graphics card instead of the Intel…

I’ve changed these settings but still get the black image. My NVDIA Driver is also the latest one.

Did you restart your machine?

Yes, still no change

Is there anything else that I can do

Post your system info again.

Did you just copy paste what you posted above or is this after your changes in the windows system display settings?

This is after I made changes in window system settings

Well then that didn’t do anything. The Intel card is still your primary card. And you did not just restart Rhino but also your computer?

Yes I restarted the computer, how else can I force rhino to use nvdia graphics

Do you have a second screen plugged in besides your laptop screen?

No other screen

This thing is concerning to me, likely a driver issue.

What do you suggest I should do

can you share a screenshot of your Device manager > Display adapters?

I think I uninstalled Intel Graphics Driver by mistake and just re-downloaded it and now Rhino is working perfectly.
