I experienced my first Vegas Pro "Not Responding" event in some weeks just now. This one affected my work.

99.938476% of PC users on the planet never look at or the Windows Event Viewer. Many of them live happy, contented lives in their quest to become Tik-Tok "influencers".
@john_dennis - Thanks John! Can I add being a Tik-Tok "influencers" to my CV? Can I? . . Can I? I just looked at my Reliability History - I'm too embarrassed to share it here - nasty!
This clearly confirm, that the issue is NOT because of gpu decoding AND V19 b648 is still not stable, right?
Let's see.... @john_dennis said this problem is the first one he has experienced in some weeks, and you come back with that VP19 is not stable? Really??
So the software, after weeks of use has a crash, and you hang your hat on that. As if there is a perfect editing software where there are zero problems with it. I would love to know the name of it and if it is comparable to Vegas....
Do I want a "perfect", trouble free editor? Yes!!!! But even the OS you and I are using isn't bug free. I have no software on my computer that is as complex as Vegas Pro (including the much vaunted Resolve Studio) that has not crashed or had an issue.
VP19 I don't think will be patched much more. They've admitted that they will now spend more time with QC before releasing any further patches for VP20. That still doesn't mean it will be 100% bug free.
Yes, by some users, like me, crash or not responde more often than by others. Too bad we cannot have more V19 release :( Dont get me wrong, i dont say every app is 100% bugfree, but there are difference between small bugs, which doesnt affect editing work much, and big errors, which does make headaches to the end users. (just my opinion)
@relaxvideo understand. It is your personal experience. But it's not everyone's personal experience. I feel for those that have problems that impede their editing experience.
Getting software to work on the infinite variable number of computer configurations is a monumental task. Where it should work reliably is on a fresh install of OS and all necessary drivers (motherboard chipset, etc). What I would like to know out of curiosity is the configuration of the developers computers and what additional software they have installed. Most users have a plethora of software/drivers/hardware on their computer that can affect software.
The rationale behind my posting details of my Vegas Pro service interruptions is that the data is more scientific than anecdotal about what was going on in the machine when I was interrupted.
When posted in a code block here, it's searchable by anyone on the Internet, unlike the crash report that is sent off to Microsoft and/or Magix.
@john_dennis, I hope that all that you post is taken into consideration by the Vegas team. I look through the reliability once a week to see what has happened on my computer.
Do you think this is something that everyone should do along with explaining how/when it happened?
Since I am moving my software to a new install of Win11, I haven't used Vegas much other than to install and make sure it is running.
@Reyfox said "Do you think this is something that everyone should do along with explaining how/when it happened?"
I think most people should look at Reliability History periodically, especially when they might be having an issue with their system. Most people won't know how to interpret the entries, including me, but the data could provide clues. At a minimum, the data can be searched on the Internet for more clues. Having a log of what actually happened when Vegas Pro hung or crashed is far superior to saying:
"I was working along using media that I've always used, on a system that has never changed when Vegas stopped working. I'm so frustrated 'cause I've got a deadline and Vegas sucks!"
Notice I didn't recommend that everyone on the planet scroll through the Windows Event Logs. Though it could be useful, many people reach data overload there too quickly.
2023-07-17 Vegas Pro 20-411 hung while editing and failed to report to Microsoft or Magix and failed to write to the Windows Reliability History log. I killed the tasks and restarted Vegas Pro. This event killed my productivity and my joy of editing. Going back to the project after spending time looking at errors is pure drudgery.
For me, 411 has been stable and crash free for the most part. I beta test some "stuff" in Vegas, and it's when I am doing wild testing, that sometimes, I'll get the white screen of death. But for myself, when editing anything, it's a long habit of doing incremental saves myself.
Sorry you lost your "mojo" in editing because of it. It is a royal....
2023-07-17 My "mojo" appears to be under assault this morning. If I wanted to tinker with hardware/software/drivers/firmware, I have three other machines with which to do it.
I feel you pain. With VP19 (forget what version), just looking at the monitor caused it to crash. I couldn't do even simple editing, which led to increased frustration. Then things got better miraculously on my computer. I'm fairly good at maintaining it, keeping unnecessary software being installed, monitoring what is going on, etc..
I've stayed with an AMD driver from last May since it works without any issues, but I have to say, I really don't like Win11. My Win10 boot drive has the latest drivers and seems to work ok, but some plugins I use in Vegas just don't play nice with them.
I hope you find the "aspirin" that will work on Vegas and your computer...
After a Win10 update, running check updates again showed this too. Wife at work, the IT guy ran the normal update, and because wife learned at home that there was another, pointed it out to the IT guy who wasn't aware of this update.
Three projects down the line, I was presented with this:
