Vegas 22 can't be maximized after minimizing?

Hi there,

Did anybody ever experience this? It's happened many times now, that I'm working in Vegas 22, and go to another window , for example browsers or Photoshop, and when I want to return back to work in Vegas 22, it doesn't open when I click the icon in the taskbar, but instead I hear one of these 'error pings' ?

When I hover the icon, I can see vegas 22 is still there and has not crashed, but I just have to close it and take my loss...

That makes it seem like there is some modal dialog that might be open. After clicking on the VEGAS icon in the task bar...after the ping, press the ESC key and see if that resolves the problem.

No extra windows opened...I even closed all the other programs first, but still couldn't open it. I do think it starts when I have 2 projects in Vegas 22 opened at the same time and close 1 of them?

@marcel-vossen, I have a similar symptom as you describe. The difference between yours and mine, VEGAS is still alive and maximizes normally once I click the VEGAS icon one more time in the task bar after hearing the "ping" sound. This symptom has never happened to me before in any version of VEGAS Pro.

I reported this a few weeks ago and I thought I was alone. I'm 'happy' to see it's not just me. https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/cannot-restore-vegas-window-after-minimising--147490/#ca928978

Have you tried double clicking the icon. I just discovered this morning that this works. It's bizarre, because unless you use a taskbar utility (which I don't) this should not be possible. Plus, it ONLY happens with Vegas. Every other app restores as normal with a single click. Very weird. I'd be interested to learn if double clicking works for you.

Also a heavy user of After Effects, Cinema4D and other video/animation/motion graphic production tools.

About to take a long hard look at Resolve, to see if it can handle my mixed format timelines without crashing. It's a shame, as I adore the Vegas workflow - but it falls over way too frequently for me to trust it. After 20+ years I've kinda had enough!

A typical Vegas Pro timeline could include footage from any or all of the above, png/tiff seqeunces from Cinema 4D/After Effects (often with alpha channels), stills, voiceovers - a real mixed bag!

If VEGAS Pro 22 has been minimized a while, I've noticed that when I click the icon on the tool bar I get a beep. If I pause for a second and then click it a second time, it will restore.
