Many display problems can be solved by updating your video drivers. It is generally a good idea to keep drivers up to date as they can be updated quite often by the manufacturers.

There may be other things you can do as well in particular cases. Click the description below of the problem you are experiencing:

• Display Performance and CPU Bottleneck: Rotating the view, zooming or panning very slow even with a nice graphics card.
• Was Windows 10 recently installed? By default Windows 10 does not update drivers. Please update your video drivers to solve any Windows 10 issues.
• Laptop in a Docking station? Set the laptop display as the “Main Display” using Windows Display Settings.
• Performance: Rotating the view or selecting objects is slow.
• Commands fail: Pictures or decals don't show up or the image seen is distorted.
• Looks funny: There are strange artifacts on my screen.
• No shadows in Rendered Display Mode : Comparing what I see on my computer to a previous computer or video, no shadows.
• Crash: Rhino crashes and blames my video card.
• Viewports strange order: Top viewport is the Front, and Front is Front…
• Rhino 5 Toolbars and Text too small on high resolution screen
• Rhinoceros is slow on a workstation with multiple monitors plugged into a USB hub.
