I don’t know why, but I haven’t had any freeze up’s in a few days. I have gotten a few Intel driver updates lately.

I have had only two crashes but dozens of freezes over the past 24-48 hours. This is a reduction of crashes but an increase in freezes. The freezes last much longer than before, now ranges 5-30 seconds before the screen unfreezes before it rarely ever lasted more than a few seconds

Mine just froze for about 10 or 12 seconds. Didn’t crash.

My Windows 10 Roon control just froze then crashed. Time for a solution.

2 crashes and 6 freezes today.
Freezing and crashing almost always are initiated by resuming from a minimized position

Alas my good time is over, its back to freezing. Also same on Macbook now on that ecosystem. Such a shame.

Still getting random crashes and freezes here, Windows 11 box. The recent “fixes” in the builds have had no effect for me.

Given the (fairly) infrequent responses from support about this, I’m wondering if there is a big Roon 2.0 release on the imminent horizon which is taking development time away from fixing what are probably perceived as minor bugs such as this.

Never mind. This didn’t work.

Yeah I think there’s a consensus that the problem is graphics card related. However, for those of us with only one graphics card this fix unfortunately isn’t available.

I tried this and it did nothing for me so that leads me to doubt there being a consensus about it being the solution. If it worked for you, feel pleased that your problem has been fixed. Not everyone is so fortunate

Using the less powerful embedded video card doesn’t seem a feasible solution to me.

There are no performance issues between this client workstation and the NAS. NAS grinding or memory busting is also not present as I have never seen the CPU being over ~80% even when client backups are running overnight. I have detailed trends if any correlation to the client crash time are required.

Note: This workstation runs a lot of software including vmware workstation so I am ok if you tell me it is not supported. This crash is silent and does not affect my system stability which is most important! :slight_smile:

I am having this issue with Windows 11 running Roon Core, cannot restore backups either, anyone find a fix for this yet?

The only way I can get this to work is if I uninstall, remove the old database and settings, and reinstall.

Any help would be appreciated. I have the logs handy, not sure how to update them however.

My RoonRemote is still cumbersomely frozen on Windows 11 as of July 16, 2022. I am constantly updating Windows and RoonRemote and it is always up to date (RoonVersion:1.8 build988).
None of my other software, such as games or browser, freezes, only RoonRemote. When it freezes, there is block noise on the display and only the RoonRemote screen crashes.
This phenomenon has been consistent since the introduction of Windows 11 until now.
When will Roon stop freezing in Windows 11?

Same here. I am very annoyed. It crashed 2 times in 15 minutes just now while browsing the app and playing music. Fix this or I want my money back. This is unusable when it keeps crashing.

Roon just crashed 2 times in 15 minutes just now while browsing the app and playing music. Fix this please, because this happens daily. The app is unusable when it keeps crashing.
It can not handle playing music and browsing the app at the same time. This crash also happens when you leave the app minimized for a longer time while playing music.

Roon crashes before the first song finishes playing, I’ve never previously experienced this issue. I’m able to skip to the next, previous song an pause though the rest of the interface is unresponsive. I also notice the screen font changes when it crashes. Accessing roon via my bluos streamer works flawlessly.

Sadly, its not just windows 11 that freezes and crashes your computer.
