Wow, that sucks to get torpedoed by the hacks at microsoft as they stand around and watch everyone go down.

I have a new issue on my laptop - this was happening before the Windows update.
 
Attempting to open any project results in the "SONARPLT.exe has stopped working" error.
 
The workaround is to open in Safe Mode, choosing "No to all".
Then close the project without saving
 
This now allows the project to open normally

Symptoms did not change for me after the KB3201845 update. My test case is inserting CA-2A into a new project after rebooting, which consistently raises a stack overrun exception.



I just tried that and Sonar is crashing here too.
 
Does this affect Sonar in other ways too? If I start a new project (ctrl+n), my media browser shows "Track Templates", but displays the "desktop" icons instead. If I type "2A" in the search field (which I did by accident), Sonar hangs showing a blue spinning circle cursor. I can't escape out of it and have to kill Sonar.

Not seeing that, seems unrelated to the Windows problem being described in this thread. Not unless what you're seeing is a hang during a VST scan. Until this gets sorted, I'd suggest turning off automatic scanning (which I normally do anyway). In Preferences -> VST Settings, choose "Manual Scan" under "Scan Options" and un-check the "Rescan Existing Plugins" box.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

Re: Instability with certain Cakewalk plugins after recent Windows 10 updates 2016/12/10 11:54:03 (permalink)
Could it be related to jBridge/BitBridge ? I have multiple versions of SONAR installed on my Win7 64bit workstation (I have bought all the versions starting from 8.5.3 Producer to the latest SONAR Platinum). Earlier on this year, jBridge started giving me a lot of stability problems with plug-ins that had worked just fine before. On a side dish, SONAR Platinum seems to be somewhat more unstable with each update, regardless of whether I use jBridged/BitBridged VST plug-ins or not.

I personally have had this feeling ever since X1 that there's been a lot of "surface improvements", but the second you look under the hood, uh oh ......... That's why, believe it or not, I've often stuck to Sonar 8.5.3 Producer Edition. It gets the stuff done. Only when there's been a special situation where I've required the newer versions of SONAR for some reason - usually related to the project becoming _huge_ and starting to glitch/crash during rendering or so, I've reopened the project with a newer SONAR version.

The quoted workaround works for me as well. Simple enough. After that Sonar works fine as always.
I'm confident the Bakers will find a solution now that we know what the issue is.

Glad to see this problem is being addressed. I've had similar crashes, especially when applying CA-2A in ProChannel. I tried re-installing CA-2A which seemed to help, for a day, but then it happened again. Also, during a VST scan, especially if I launched a project before the scan was completed. 
 
An interesting, but unpleasant, 'feature' of this bug is that when SONAR blows up, I can't re-launch the app most of the time, or if it opens the audio is messed up.
 
Worse, I can't even kill the process in Task Manager! It just lingers, forcing me to reboot the entire machine! Very not fun!
 
I'll be paying close attention to this thread in anticipation of getting the definitive solution to this vexing bug!

I did some mucking about in Services and the Command Line and got my Win updates working again, after getting current I started SONAR in safe mode and noticed my driver mode was ASIO. I tried WASAPI and voila, audio interface connected, and projects seem to be loading fine. Even one's with the aforementioned bad plugz. Probably all unrelated but there ya go. :-)

've been getting this as I demo Sonar and Samplitude - but only in Samplitude which crashes the entire OS. Not had a blue screen for years - has anyone had blue screens from the Sonar crashes?

If you have a mini-dump file, you can poke around in it with http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html to see if you can spot a specific driver involved in the crash.
 
BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one table. For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the minidump filename, the date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file description, and file version).
For each crash displayed in the upper pane, you can view the details of the device drivers loaded during the crash in the lower pane. BlueScreenView also mark the drivers that their addresses found in the crash stack, so you can easily locate the suspected drivers that possibly caused the crash.

thanks abacab - what a great resource that is!!  Pretty sure my problem is a couple of old 32bit plugins causing 
ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+4881ae to crash
Will go through my plugins tomorrow and see if there are any 32 bit that I still want

The only thing I'm getting is each time I start my Sonar session for the day, I get the stops working thing. Usually I close and run Sonar again and the project fires up. Yesterday, it took 2 close and restarts before the project loaded. Everything from that point is great. I had one other stops working on another project later that day, whilst other projects started okay. Hope this gets rectified soon. Yes Win updates are fickle although this issue started after I installed the 2016-11 update, so I don't know whether Win update features at all?

I'm having the problem as well. Initially I thought it was a Waves problem but I can now make Sonar crash by adding any softsynth as well. I have NEVER had a problem with Sonar and have been using it for years. This is shocking.

My Waves VSTs need to scan for licenses every session now.. And Kontakt is stuttering and buzzing like crazy on my end. And the VST scan just hangs every time I run it.. These used to work flawlessly until the Windows 10 update / Sonar November update interaction issue.. I hope we find a fix soon..! 

Peace!

This actually was the final straw for me for Windows 10.  MS kept screwing things up with the updates.  Plus, I had really annoying display bugs on my laptop probably do to driver support.  Sometimes I'd turn my computer on and I'd just get a black screen.  Other times I'd log in and then it would go right back to the login screen.  I am really turned off by their forced updates and how they are secretive about the data gathering and what the updates do.
 
I've reverted back to Windows 8.1 this weekend.  Had a few hiccups getting the updates to install (There's like 2 gigs of updates and Sonar won't install unless all the updates are installed.  There's a bug in Windows 8 where at one point it searches for updates forever and you have to manually take corrective action.)  I have no plans to move back to Windows 10 ever really.
 
Sorry, a little off-topic.

For Roland users (usb audio interface) on W10:
 
Uninstall current driver in "add or remove programs" (device needs to be disconnected/off), restart W10, then reconnect/power on device. W10 will then (re)install (new?) drivers. This will get rid of the ASIO "no device for your current driver model" & "Sonar.exe stopped working"- crash. At least it did in my case.

If one has Win 10 Pro you can turn off the automatic updates.  I did even though my computer is off-line most all of the time.  The only time it is on-line is for updates.

The reason people say the vinyl sounds better is because the music was better.

Re: Instability with certain Cakewalk plugins after recent Windows 10 updates 2016/12/12 18:53:13 (permalink)
i have found windows 10 to be the fastest and most stable version of windows yet, i literally have 0 problems with it. i was initially very hesitant to leave windows 7 behind as it was also for me the best to that point, but i bit the bullet and upgraded all my pc's and laptops to windows 10. after a few false starts and going back to windows 7 a couple of times, and getting over my initial concerns with windows 10, mainly due to aesthetic issues on release, i just didn't like the look of it, everything seemed blindingly white, i worked out how to get things acceptable, adding color here and there, title bars etc, and getting things the way i liked, or at least acceptable to me (which of course these things were added/fixed in subsequent releases) i wouldn't go back to windows 7 for the world, just wouldn't want to. windows 10 to me is far superior, in speed, stability etc. of course i have had windows update disabled on all my systems, both professional and home versions for some time, i think the last updates for windows 10 that were installed were back in july of this year. i have no issues whatsoever with anything i run, and all my computers are permanently online (except for when they are switched off )
 
 of course ymmv, but for me windows 10 has been a great experience, one in which the thought of going back to windows 7 never even crosses my mind. sonar runs better than it ever has (thanks in no small part to performance improvements and load balancing etc that cakewalk has introduced) my other daw's run flawlessly, very happy camper with windows 10.

I'm with you as far as liking Windows 10, and having no issues at the present time!  As a habitual late adopter, I waited until the final hours for the free upgrade deal back in July.  Then I upgraded my main PC and my laptop.
 
However, I am dismayed at all of the issues being reported here with Sonar and Windows 10.  I did perform a disk wipe and clean installed Windows 10 initially, so I'm not sitting on an upgraded OS.  But I am puzzled by why some users got hit and not all?  It must be that certain system configurations are more vulnerable to this particular bug than others. 
 
I know they are working on a fix, and I hope it comes soon!

yes it is puzzling, but with so many variations in users software and hardware and all the variables, mind boggling actually that things run at all, glad i don't have to deal with working it all out, and also thankful for not suffering the issues experienced by others (touch wood) i do tend to think i made the right choice stopping windows update before the anniversary update stuff, although at some point it 'may' bite me on the @$$, if so i'll deal with it then, for now it's smooth sailing. main reason for stopping the updates was due to fear my audio interface's may stop working if i done the anniversary update as drivers are no longer updated and haven't been for quite a number of years and i'm not yet ready to ditch my interface's. (no doubt when i do i'll be kicking myself for not doing it much, much earlier, but . . )
 
i have 2 computers that are clean installs from retail purchased windows 10, and 3 that are 'in place' upgrades, and they all seem run as good as each other, for which i am thankful, didn't want to, and not looking forward to having to reinstall and setup all that software what a mission that would be

I too have held off on the "Anniversary Update".  I heard that it was essentially a system upgrade release, so I decided to wait for Microsoft to work out the bugs.  There was a huge topic on Reddit devoted to the new release, with regular visits from a Microsoft employee dedicated to the task.
 
I just heard recently that Microsoft has declared Windows 10, version 1607 (Anniversary Update), to be compatible with the Current Branch for Business (CBB).  That means it is finally an actual release version suitable for business customers.  Never mind us *riff-raff that have been potentially beta testing the latest release for the past six months!
 
[*riff-raff = Home and Professional edition users]
 
After the first of the new year, I may take a system image backup, then plunge into the deep end of the pool

I'm not sure when my issue started occurring as far as relativity to Windows updates, but I know Sonar began crashing repeatedly and randomly for me about two weeks ago.
 
I don't run any of the plugins listed in the OP, though.  I run Addictive Drums 2, Peavey Revalver, and a few stock Cake plugins (Sonitus and BT EQs and compressors), and Blue Cat chorus.  None of which have been an issue with Platinum in the past.
 
It's crashing at absolute random...during playback, during recording...and yes, I kid you not, during NOTHING.  I literally just let a project sit open, unattended, and came back 15 minutes later to it having frozen up and crashed.
 
Occasionally Cake will let me send a crash report, but most of the time Cake's crash report thing doesn't even pop up....just the Windows "Sonar has stopped responding, would you like to close it" thing.
 
There were a couple of instances where a fatal error message popped up claiming there was an issue with a third party TS808 plugin I was using (not realizing I had one in Revalver that was just as good, if not better, lol.)  So I deleted that plugin from my projects, but the overall crashing problem remains.
 
It's not a hardware issue, as I run an ASUS RoG G-series with an i7, plenty of RAM, and can run a full 25+ track project with half a dozen realtime plugins on each track and still not break 10% CPU usage.  Also have 75% free disk space on my OS drive.
 
It should also be noted that on this particular machine, I run 8.1, not 10.
 
My interface has fully updated drivers, everything's up to date (including Windows, Sonar, Revalver, etc.)

I haven't updated to 11-16 yet, (10-16) but am also having instability issues I've never
seen before. Yesterday Sonar would crash just changing screen sets! I'm on Windows
10. It sure feels like a windows update messed with a very stable system here.
 



+1 here still on 10-16, but the insert of CA-2A causes the crash stack overrun, just like bitflipper said.  But I haven't updated Sonar...

Now for something a little weird my secondary DAW loads Rapture Pro, Z3ta+2 and CA-2A without problem my primary will load the CA-2a but crashes when I try to load Rapture Pro. 

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
