Plugins Crashing Sonar in Windows 10

I have been on Windows 10 for well over a year and I would say it is the most stable system I have ever had. 
 
I think you need to provide more details about your projects along with the spec of you machine and then some one on here might be able to help you.  

My crashes are so many & varied that a detailed description of each and every one would be impossible before the lifetime updates ran out. :) However, at least 2 of them were sent to Cakewalk thru the automated crash dump system.

Some crash Sonar.
Some crash Windows.
Some plugs don't work.
Some plugs fail to register tho they are registered.

Before windows 10 I had no such crashes, Not this many or so frequently. Most are likely a problem with win10 & plugins not getting along.

Then again, I could have a bad memory chip.

Are you running a "clean"win 10  installation on your system ?

what about your soundcard ? are you using the SoundBlaster 3Di ?
if so have you checked for an update ? I don't condone using onboard soundcard at all but if you are,
make sure you have the latest version/update.

I have crashes when:
 
I mix some 32-bit plugins with 64bit plugins. I'm on Windows 10 x64. Solution: replace all free 32bit effects with 64bit effects...
 
I try to do something with an altered audio clip before I bounce it to finalize the changes (particularly when stretching audio, sometimes if I process a clip with an effect, often when using region effects.) Solution: remember to bounce audio clips, more easily said than done.
 
A background process like an antivirus program starts doing something, or I open a browser window that wants to share my sound device. Solution: disable my network adapter and antivirus when working on a big project.

It's a new laptop with win10 preinstalled so I have nothing to roll back to.
 
Alienware 17 R3
Intel i7
16gb ram
128 SSD
500gb SSD
Intel video
nVidia video
Soundblaster Recon 3Di
Windows 10 Home 64 bit (1607 14393.321)
 

Are you running 2 video devices ?
if so I recommend to disable one of that.
 

Another cause on some systems for issues 
have been disabled  onboard sound chips.
 
good luck
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Several months ago, U-he announced that, while they were releasing VST3 editions of their plug-ins, it was recommended that the VST2 were more stable. I did find this to be the case (although recently I haven't noticed a difference.) I wonder if this may have some impact on what you're seeing?

Yellowtools Engine is causing a lot of crashing in my setup.
Win 10 64 bit,  Sonar Plat Pro.
If you can get your project to load, then either freeze the dodgy plugin or bounce it to an audio track, then delete it.
