Description of Issue

Since yesterday RoonServer has been crashing on startup

I’m going to reinstall but wanted to report the issue so that you are aware of it.

Confirming that uninstalling/reinstalling fixed the issue, but still irritating as f. If there are logs I can collect to help you diagnose what went wrong with the update lmk.

Tried to reinstall, but still no luck. Same issue (since yesterday). Roon crashes after +/- 1 minute.

Reinstalling my video driver fixed it!

Too optimistic… if you don’t use anything else, Roon keeps playing. As soon as you start using other software… it crashes. Suggestions welcome. Not able to use to use Roon when demoing @ High-end Munich this weekend… shame.
