I had to restore Windows on my Asus StudioBook ProArt WorkStation Laptop and now Roon refuses to load past the login. I Then Uninstalled and re-installed and same issue. This has been a 60 day issue and I’m reaching out for assistance just now. Further to note, even before the Windows re-install Roon would freeze on startup and just display the Roon logo, just as it does now. . ( see image ).
I’ve since temporarily installed Roon Core on my newly acquired Vaio Laptop. However I’m anxious to return to my Asus laptop ( primary computer ) as my Roon Core.
Any plausible suggestions are more than welcome.
( I hope this is the right forum / thread ? )
Thank you in advance

Normally that behaviour is associated with a graphics card issue. I’d go to the manufacturer site, not windows update, and install the latest graphics card drivers. Or Nvidia as that is the card in it I think.
The other thing to try is to install 32 bit roon.
I have moved your message into the support category of the forum so that Roon support personnel might see your post.
I concur with @ged_hickman1 that this might probably be an issue with the driver of your graphics card. So, in the meantime try to find the latest driver on the website of the graphics card manufacturer and bring your ASUS laptop up to date. Report back on this thread.
**Thanks for that response. I’m avid about up to date drivers, especially the graphics drivers. - Info re same displayed below. Further to note, I’d upgraded the drivers via auto notification a couple times prior to the re-install of windows and again, same situation, roon would freeze upon startup. **

Thank you re moving post to the ’ Support ’ Category. ( my 1st post in the Roon Forums and just finding my way around ).
Re the GPU, I’d reponded to @ged_hickman1 re same… ALL drivers especially the graphics are updated immediately upon notification that such is available. This problem has occurred thru at least a couple if not more driver updates before the re-install of Windows and at least once after a GPU driver update ( situation still ensues ) .
It seems more customers are having the same kind of problems after a windows 10 update, including me. We all checked our drivers, I don’t think that’s the problem. I think most of all have normal graphics cards or onboard chips.
Somehow Roon has problems starting the GUI or some error (critical message?) blocks Roon from going to it’s GUI. On the background other tasks are done, checkin userid, opening database, updating art, so it runs to some part.
Is Roon tested with newest windows 10 versions?
We would be helped if some trace version is available or if the current logging is expanded.
Yes, I’m thinking another issue as well as all my equipment, be it audio or computer get top notch care, updated drivers as a constant … perhaps the restore process messed up. ( I had to reinstall a couple programs after restore ) … I may have to consider a clean albeit fresh install of windows which I care not to do - ~w all my software, apps and setup process, that can be a 3 day affair almost.
