Vegas 18 - What to do when no past project will open?

Norrin_Radd22 wrote on 8/3/2022, 7:13 PM

I was working on a project last night. Hit save, went to sleep. Got up today and now NONE of my old projects are opening. They just stop loading, but the program does not freeze. I can still hit the close button and get a "background operation is currently in progress" pop up.

I left it to go for hours today, but it never got past 4%. Multiple projects are not opening, not just the one from last night.

Some of my plugins were acting funny last night, so, I suspect that there might be something I need to update or re-install. I am just not sure how to troubleshoot this app. Any tips?

Using Windows 10, 64bit

What I do is reach for the USB device that has a WinPE and Macrium Reflect 8 Free and restore the image of my system to the point where everything worked.

Yikes. System restore is basically a scorched Earth solution I am trying to avoid. Most of the time it does more harm than good to the many projects I am working on across many applications. But I appreciate the response.

Reset just Vegas then? https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/faq-how-can-i-reset-vegas-pro-to-default-settings--104646/

Next step would be to remove any recently installed plugins for troubleshooting purposes.

I'll consider that approach, actually. Thanks for the link!
