Question

OS: Windows 10 Pro 1903

CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x

Memory: 16GB DDR4 2666MHZ

Okay, so every studio one program(latest version) that I have tried to launch just freezes on startup. I obviously installed one and uninstalled the other. I noticed that it always crashes when it reaches "Starting Audio Engine". This problem started when I got my new PC and worked fine on my other PC which was worse than my current one. It also uses 8.3% - 8.7% of my CPU and 237MB of my memory even when it is froze.

Here are things that I have tried so far:

• Restarted my PC
• Tried compatibility mode
• Since it froze, I just left it there for 10 minutes and it is still still frozen
• Checked the program in task manager and uses the CPU and memory
• Ran windows 10 troubleshooter for the program and didn't change anything

Answer 1

It sounds like your configuration settings are messed up.

The next troubleshooting step is to back up your Settings and whack all but your user.license (and I could swear there is another file you keep)

I'd start by rebooting

(Since S1 crashes, you can't just go Help/Open Settings Folder, so open a Windows File Explorer:

C:\Users\<your USER name>\AppData\Roaming\PreSonus\Studio One 4

Back it up

Delete all but user.license

re-start S1

Let me know if this works!
