Grasshopper build 0.9.0076: Surface will not load

I have just downloaded an evaluation copy of Rhino 5 and Grasshopper build 0.9.0076 to install on my new Dell Precision T3610 pc. There were no problems loading either one. The problem is that GH gives me a "Surface with ID {...} failed to load" message anytime I try to load a curved surface into a surface component. Planar surfaces load fine.

I can't figure out if its a GH bug, a new machine thing or what. Searched online and in these discussions but can't find anything. Help! Thanks.

What you've got there is technically an extrusion, not a surface - you can load it into a BRep component and then reference it in GH, or you can explode it in Rhino to turn it back into a surface before you reference it in.

also, if this behavior bothers you, you can disable extrusion objects altogether with the "useExtrusions" command.

Interesting. I've been following some online tutorials probably using older GH builds and they extruded curves and loaded them into surface components. Did GH change this approach along the way? Thanks!
