How to Fix Vegas Pro not Opening or Crashing on Launch.
As we mentioned above this is one of the strangest and quite possibly the dumbest fix going for this particular issue but it seems to work and fix the problem.
All we are going to be doing is disabling Internet access for Vegas. To do this follow the steps below.
- First search Firewall from the Start menu, then open Windows Defender Firewall when it appears.
- Here click Advanced Settings.
- In this window click New Rule
- Here click Program then Next.
- Click Browse next to This program path and choose the Vegas.exe inside the Vegas installation folder.
By default it is in: C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 21.0
- Next, click Next and make sure Block the connection is ticked. Click Next again.
- Now make sure all 3 boxes are checked, then click Next again.
- Finally, name the entry and give it a description, then click Finish.
After you make this change restart your computer and you should be able to launch Vegas Pro without any launch problems. If you still can't get it to work it might be time for a clean installation and a version update. Simply download the installation files again and install it.
What else can you do to fix Vega Pro not Launching?
- Make sure that you have tried using the latest drivers available for your GPU.
- If you recently updated to newer drivers and the issue started, go back to the old ones for a while.
- Uninstall your GPU drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
- Check that your GPU is supported. There are some GPUs (Intel) that aren’t supported by Davinci Resolve.
- If an update is available Update Davinci Resolve as well.
- Uninstall parsecc display drivers and Citrix display drivers.
These are the next most likely solutions to get Vegas Pro to work on your computer. It's also worth making sure that Windows is fully up to date as well as your system BIOS if you haven't already.
