Vegas Pro 23 crashing on startup

Since upgrading to Vegas Pro 23, my projects crash when I open them around 75% of the time.

The initial pop up box appears and loads all the way, then the actual program pops up, but the load bar at the bottom left of the application only loads to a specific percent (this is project dependent) and then Vegas either stops responding, or crashes altogether. I have to sit there opening the project sometimes 20+ times in a row, and how that the project actually opens up.

I don't even get any crash report box, since the app itself just closes or freezes and needs to be forced shut off through my task manager.

Has anyone else seen similar issues with Vegas 23? This has happened to me on Vegas 22, but it was EXTREMELY rare. Any settings or files that I could change to potentially fix or use to find a solution?

Can you just open V23 on its own without opening a project?

What could help is to also provide your computer specs. Your User Profile is blank. Add your computer specs like mine below to your Signature. It is the place a lot of us look before continuing on with questions.

I have no idea of what OS version you are using, or anything else, including what format the project files consist of. What is the Vegas build number?

Have you tried RESETTING Vegas?
