I’ve already posted my PC info above and adding screenshots here. Roon has crashed several times since this post, most recently on 11/15 @ 0649 AM/EST. It was running in the background and streaming a live radio internet station in two locations (office and living room). I had started the stream and a few minutes later went to log into the PC hosting that Roon core, when it crashed. As soon as I typed in my Windows PIN and logged in. It crashed when I hit ‘enter’ and screen opened to my desktop.
Do you have all the extra stuff loaded from Nvidia? I only run with the base driver and physX. I don’t load the nvidia experience, audio driver, etc etc etc. and don’t have this issue at all.

Description of Issue
Roon Core is running on a PC. This works fine.
My Apple iPhone connects and works fine.
I have a work laptop HP Z-Book G6 i9, 64G ram. This is the computer with the issue.
After initially queuing a CD to play, during which I am using my laptop for work, I switch back to Roon. Roon hangs, often crashes several moments later, or sometimes eventually responds (normally if I do not click any buttons within the app).
This has been happening for at least 6 months I would say. It had worked fine in the past.
I have added Roon to my firewall rules. I have Dotnet 4.8 installed, although it won’t let me reinstall because it says it is already there.
I have generated a log and can send this.
I see the error in the log

Update on my end - Roon will still outright crash, but the intermittent and extremely annoying lagging issues have mostly subsided. It is also crashing much less. Although I don’t know if its “solved”, its certainly moved in the right direction.
The freezing and crashing has been going on for over 7 months. Still no fix and now a price increase. I like Roon a lot, but this forces me to make a decision that otherwise would have been an automatic renewal.
hit the nail on the head. the fact that they spend so much time working on new features instead of making the software stable is insanity and i refuse to continue funding madness.
ALL roon labs resources should be focused on this!!!
I don’t have nvidia at all.
AMD graphics here and still the same issue (either on Vega or dedicated) so I doubt it is due to a graphics card or drivers.
Same problem here.
Too many months without solution for a non free software…
I’ve seen freezes happen only if Roon is playing music. Otherwise never seen problems maximizing the window.
Can you confirm this?
I’m personally not sure some of these posts were helpful.
I generally don’t taunt people who prepare my food, are secretarial staff
(they run your office don’t pretend otherwise) or software devs I wish to get help from.
I do not understand the lack of response from Roon either though. It isn’t often one gets a bug so easily reproduced. It would appear it should be t-ball knocking it out, which makes the complete lack of reply odd.
I speak for no one but me and generally do that poorly as well.
Thank you for the soapbox.
