Over the years I have watched as other people had problems with new versions and installs, and various bugs. But I was one of the lucky ones that never had any difficulties or crashes, etc.
 I recently joined many of you and signed up for the lifetime updates for Platinum, and..... (isn't it ironic) every update I have downloaded since has been problematic. The last 2 updates I had to roll back. I keep getting the message SONARPLT has stopped working, and the program will not open any projects, including new ones. What's up with that?
 
I have an i5 quad core, 8 gig RAM, running Windows 10. 

You need to state exactly what is happening and any error message that is presented. What plugins and the project details. 
 
A complete listing of your system too. Audio interface and so on. 
 
What you are experiencing is not normal.

If you have any problem reports with crash dumps attached please list them here and we'll investigate them.

at the risk of sounding like a complete homer, I've had no problems in these past 2 updates.
but you have Noel here willing to help so explain your issue and post your problem reports with crash dumps

Hi,
Sorry, been busy and haven't gotten back to this for a while. Interface is Focusrite 18i20, original version.
After upgrading, Sonar will not open and generates error codes. After rollback everything works fine.
 
Trouble report is CWBRN-54753 with crash dump included.

It looks like Keith responded to your case. If you have a dell computer the crash is likely caused by their backup utility.

I don't think it's ironic that a consumer grade computer is not always best suited to run a professional DAW application.

I don't think its ironic at all for any "PC" to have audio issues running Windoze ... Thats why Im waiting for the Mac version.

The word we're after, I think, is "unexpected". Also see the Gambler's Fallacy, the belief that past events influence future probabilities.
