Vegas Pro 13.0 Crashes on startup after windows 10 creator update

I've been using Vegas Pro 13 for a long time now, and didn't have any problems with it. I recently updated windows 10 to the so called "Creator's update" which broke vegas completely for me. My friend's vegas pro 13 works fine with the windows creator update. I've tried holding control and shift when starting vegas to delete all cached application data but nothing worked. It seems that "d3d9.dll" is causing the problems. BUT, that doesn't make sense since DirectX 9 games such as Half Life 2 work just fine. Here are my system specs(NOTE: i know i have a slow CPU, but that will be replaced with a Ryzen 1500X soon) CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 Overclocked to 3GHz, MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Gaming X 2G, 8GB DDR2 900MHz RAM, Asus P5QL Pro Motherboard, Spire SP-ATX-600W PSU, 120GB Samsung 750 Evo SSD(windows drive), 2TB Hitachi 7200RPM HDD(games drive). Both windows and Vegas Pro 13 are installed on the same drive(SSD)

Since no one has proposed any fixes, yet, I'll heckle you until they do.

"I've been using Vegas Pro 13 for a long time now, and didn't have any problems with it."

Good. Whip out your system image that worked for all that time and restore it right over the image that you " recently updated windows 10".

You don't have a saved working image? The best advice I could offer you: When you get this worked out, make one.

Acronis

These are just two backup applications that begin with "A".

there's a lot to be said for using an approved os - and you have to be pretty adventurous to try an 'untried' new release os.

I had the same issue with Vegas 14, after I installed the Windows creators update Vegas Pro would always crash at startup. In my case I fixed the issue by reinstalling the latest Nvidia gpu driver. My only guess is perhaps the Windows update had replaced the gpu driver with it's own, one that worked for games but one that Vegas didn't like. Installing the latest driver fixed it for me.

Well, turns out i've fixed it by first re-installing and then updating RivaTuner Statistics server.
