Just received a new Windows Tablet which came with Windows 10, installed VCV Rack 2.06 and it worked fine. I have just finished upgrading to Windows 11 and now VCV Rack does not run at all, I get the little spinning circle for a second or two and then nothing.
Thank you. I rolled backed to Windows 10 and it ran fine, then I upgraded to Windows 11 and before I installed anything I installed VCV Rack 2 and it didn’t open. Looking at the log I am getting this message:
Thank you, I’ve gone through these and still no joy, I only have the default sound device installed at the moment. I think I may go back to windows 10 until I hear from support.
I assume you have Googled for ‘Windows 11 audio issue problem’ or similar? Many sources mention audio/device issues. Many Youtube videos on diagnosing/solving as well.
Still running W10, so I don’t have these W11 issues…yet…
Might also be that Tablets devices differ from PC’s in how they handle stuff. Most likely with different hardware (and drivers…) and such.
There are a lot of us Win11 users using Rack 2, so there should not be any fundamental issue here. It sounds to me perhaps that this is a permissions error where the executable is not being allowed to run, but that 0xc00000007b error is somewhat of a catchall non-specific error. Googling it will lead you to how others have resolved this error.
I know my reply is a bit late, but I wanted to say that sometimes compatibility issues can arise with new operating systems. So, I think going back to Windows 10, which was working fine with VCV Rack is a really good idea. In fact, it could be a good idea to update your Windows 10 installation with the latest versions of applications, including VCV Rack, to ensure compatibility and stability. On a related note, I recently came across a reliable resource for purchasing a cheap windows 10 key. I went ahead and installed Windows 10 on my own device, and it’s been a great option for me. So, if you’re not in a hurry to switch to Windows 11, this could be a viable alternative.
