Vegas Pro 23 on Windows 11 Pretty sad... I think it's only my 5th time launching the software, and now it won't launch? .... Trying to find remedies but it's not exactly easy. Just tells me VEGAS Pro has stopped working...

There's little hope of getting any help without knowledge about your computer specs etc as requested in:

Also, if you've got a 'stopped working' window', there's a couple of checkboxes towards the bottom of that window. Please check them and upload to this thread a screen shot of that window as it will help identify the fault module.

Trying to re-install it now to see if that helps...

Didn't work.

Is it a Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual C++ issue? There have been numerous threads on those blocking VEGAS from starting.

That would be interesting. It worked fine when I first installed. May have updated the graphics driver since then. I have a RTX 3090. The re-installation process wasn't as streamlined as I'm used to, so I guess I'll try to completely delete everything then try again. Not sure what else to do.
