With BIAB Win 2022 v912 on Windows 10 I am experiencing Unceremonious Exits. No message. Just Poof! Gone. and I cannot find a log to provide more information.
Is there something that I can turn on to capture the issue before the Unceremonious Exit?
That WMP problem is totally unrelated and has been discussed in another thread. However, you might try the same remedy of Running BIAB As Administrator.
No diagnostic trick I know of in this case, but you might consider running MEMTEST on your RAM overnight, just to rule that out.
How much RAM do you have, and what else is running at the time? Does the unceremonious exit still occur if you reboot and then run only BIAB?
Does Windows ever crash, or just BIAB?
Did this just start?
Build 912 or earlier?
What were you doing at the time?
Did you change your audio driver, or did a recent Windows update make changes (it happens)?
Sorry - I ask all these annoying questions only to assist in diagnosing. You never know what will lead to the solution.
And “Poof, gone” is unfortunately a well-accepted Windows technical term, even if it is funny!!

> How much RAM do you have 64G > Does the unceremonious exit still occur if you reboot and then run only BIAB? I rebooted and ran only BIAB and it happened again. > Does Windows ever crash, or just BIAB? Just BIAB. My Win machine has been very stable.
> Did this just start? Yes. Since BIAB 2022 and v908 but more with v912
Question Can I use [bb2022_win_update_build908] to go back
> What were you doing at the time? It seems repeatable. Load a SGU song(75 bars). Open Recent Styles load one, play and listen (on repeating this cycle 1,2,3 times >>> Poof, Gone!
> Did you change your audio driver, or I did NOT knowingly.
> did a recent Windows update make changes (it happens)? Unclear how to be certain, the update page is highlevel. On the surface It does not seem to have touched an audio driver.
Question ? What can I use or Where can I look to see more detail?

No No, Thank you. I take it as helpful good diagnostics.
I wonder if you could just try several MIDI only styles vs. RealTracks only styles to see if/how it might be related to the audio setup on your system?

Here is some more info and attached files I have created to describe my experience with the Unceremonious Exits. Just Poof! Gone. 1. I wonder if anyone else can reproduce this 2. I would like to find a way to log the BIAB program operation up to the exit.
I wrote (BIAB Poof Gone Steps.txt) to capture the steps that I take for each gone! I can repeat this over and over in BIAB2022(908 or 912). Sometimes it takes a couple style selections, sometimes 3+ style selections.
I have written previous that on the USB drive 2021(814) with a dozen style selections and no termination problems.
Rename the .m4a to a .zip file it contains 6 files ( the Steps.txt file, the song file, the style set file and some diagnostic info)
I'm having the same issues in pro tools using the aax plugin..after one or two generations the whole thing crashes..seems to work OK standalone.. I haven't went to 912 yet..
I appreciate the diagnostic assistance. Yes there are plenty of rows about plugins, no error statements to my read. I will attach the log here, in case you see something of interest.

there has been a system complaint about Amplitube since Nov 21, not new to 2022(912) BIAB 2021 from the USB drive doesnt care about the Amplitube plugin
I installed the 912 version yesterday and I'm getting the standalone BIAB just quitting unceremoniously now too.. I'm hoping it's just that it's early days of the new version..
Choosing RealDrums continued to throw an error (sometimes crashing) for me even on build 914. PG support suggested that others who have had the problem reverted to build 905 and that worked for me. I hope they are able to fix this soon, as I don't want to be stuck on an older build and not be able to update.
