Is your computer connected to the internet or a wireless device during your live show? It sounds like you have background processing of some kind happening that's consuming computer resources.

Windows has lots of things going on in the background. Windows Defender sometimes runs huge file-scans that can be quite heavy. And all the automatic-internet things (OneDrive and updates and whatever else may be 'phoning home' regularly) I would suggest a [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DELETE] and then open task-monitor to see which things use the processor-time or disk-access. It can be a tedious process, but it may be a way (it's not always easy to hunt down the cause of issues like this)

My solution is to have a separate computer for gigging (ThinkPad).
I order it from Lenovo with as much bloatware missing as I can. I never connect to the Internet, disable anti-virus software, and only put what necessary for the gig on it.
This keeps background tasks at a minimum, no malware scans going on when I'm gigging, and no crashes. In fact I've been gigging like this since 2002 and have never had an on-stage crash.
I have two computers up and running at all times - just in case. Everything is duplicated on both machines. One is a 2002 ThinkPad still running. The other 2002 computer was replaced when Win7 was still new.
In all that time I have had to go to the spare twice. (1) The CMOS battery died so instead of entering time and date and restarting, I just went to the spare, bought a $5 battery the next day and replace it (2) Hard drive was making noisy sounds. I moved the USB-Audio interface cable to the spare and finished the show without a glitch. Replaced the hard drive.
The 2002 computer that got replaced had a problem with the hinge. As I would open and close the lid, vertical stripes would appear in the display. I guess I wore the contacts out. Anyway, it was so old that the parts would be unavailable so I bought a new one.
I'm a "the show must go on" player. Spare computers, extra cables, two wind controller, duplicate wind synth modules, extra mic, etc. I don't need extra sax, flute, or guitar because I can cover those parts with the wind synth if I need to.
It seems like a bit of expense to have so much redundancy, but it's insurance against a blown gig. Can you imagine how quickly the news would travel from club owner to club owner if your computer failed in the first set and the club lost entertainment for the night?

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
