Updated to Windows 10 - Autocad crashing

Anonymous — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 17:27:24 GMT

Hi,

I updated to Windows 10 last night. I can load autocad and work in open files once i get them open. The issue is that auto-cad crashes when i try to open a file through the autocad open file menu (see screen shot). The program locks up and i need to reboot. I can launch a file through windows explorer without a problem. The issue appears to be on the auotcad end. What is going on and how can i fix it as this is now unworkable

Thanks

Updates have a way of messing with the status quo. Is this a fresh install of AutoCAD, or is the the same install that was on the previous version of your OS?

You may have to reinstall AutoCAD.

Found the solution. It was on the NVIDIA driver side. Update the video drive and everything is now fine
