I am unable to get into any windows/menus. The only one I am able to use is the Welcome window. Once I click either new or load a pre-existing it just freezes and then unable to do anything.

Windows 10 Pro

OpenSCAD 2021.01

This sounds like an issue with the graphics driver. Did it work before or is that the first installation of OpenSCAD? Did any Windows updates run lately and was the system rebooted afterwards? Is that a "normal" PC or a virtualized system of some sort?

It would be helpful to see the info output:

1. In a CMD or Powershell window, navigate to the folder where OpenSCAD is installed.
2. Run openscad.com --info > info.txt
3. Attach the file here, or open it in a text editor and copy&paste the content (use the "slash commands" / "code block" from the editor menu icons for formatting before pasting)

It has run on this PC at one point and everything is up to date.

Just double checked and graphic drivers are all up to date.

Could you also try the latest development snapshot for Windows?

from openscad.

There were cases reported where the application got stuck in a similar way after it ran on a 2nd monitor and saved that window position.

You could try removing the configuration from the Registry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenSCAD and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OpenSCAD (specifically the window settings).
