OrCAD PCB Designer with Windows 10 Creators Update

brgr

My computer updated the OS to Windows 10 Creators Update over the weekend and now the PCB Designer workspace is permanently black, like it is when global visibility is set to invisible.  Turning layers on or off does nothing, global visibility on does nothing.  I did verify that items are in the design, as going to Place -> Components Manually does not show any unplaced components.  

Once, I got something that looks like this:

Changing layers or global visibility did not change the "noise" in the workspace.

Any ideas or suggestions?  Other than trying to rollback the Windows update, which probably would cause more issues.

Thanks.

    Looks like you are running 17.2, first check with the graphics card vendor for any driver updates and get the drivers updated, especially of you have a "workstation" with OpenGL acceleration and get the latest 17.2 hotfix installed. I have a number of Windows 10 machines all running the Creators Update and have seen no issues like this.
