Vegas Pro 23 (302) - W11 25H2 a lot of crashes - solved

I have Vegas Pro 23 in the latest BETA (302) version and was having a horrible experience with constant crashes. I noticed that I went from occasional crashes to constant ones and couldn’t figure out why. After some analysis, I realized that Windows 11 had automatically updated to version 25H2, and I suspected that might be the cause of the frequent crashes. I tried to roll back to version 24H2, but since more than 10 days had passed, it wasn’t possible.

The only solution I found was to change the program’s compatibility mode to Windows 10 and run it as Administrator. It worked like a miracle — perfect, no more crashes at all. Later, I decided to disable the “Run as Administrator” option because drag and drop to the timeline stopped working.

However, for anyone using Windows 11 version 25H2 and experiencing frequent crashes, try setting Vegas Pro to run in compatibility mode for Windows 10 (it might not be straightforward, but if you ask ChatGPT, it can guide you step by step). Hope this helps!

I'm running V23 302 with Win 25H2 with no issues so there is something going on in your system causing the conflict. The issue I had around the time I changed to 25H2 was with my internet connection, sites not loading and connection being reset. Also very frustrating. I also rolled back to 24H2 but this did not fix it or rolling back some of the updates. The only way was for me to go into the advanced setting for the Ethernet adaptor and disable some of the network parameters (I used the youtube make your gaming PC connection run fast with minimum lag, also my MTU value was the default of 1500 which was being fragmented so changing this to 1450 turned out to be the max size without fragmentation - helps speed up the connection). My guess is you may need some more investigation into what may be happening. The media used is one of the most probmatical issue to cause Vegas to crash so maybe post that on this site for further help. This is also posted in the V23 302 general discussion.
