Sonarpro.exe doesn`t work correctly. The Program will be closed (Windows 10)

Happy Eastern to the Forum,
I turn to the Forum asking for help with a Problem that occurs nearly everytime I try to use Sonar and try to make some Music in my spare Time.
Whenever I try to start Sonar, the Start-up Process is Canceled and the System is giving me the Error Message: Sonarpro.exe funktioniert nicht mehr (Sonarpro.exe doesn`t work correctly). Then the Program closes/crashes...
This happend 4 out of 5 Times in the Past and again a couple of days ago, when i did the March Update and updated Windows 10 to the Creators Upgrade.
 
My Machine: Self-build Windows 10 System, Intel i7-7700, 32GB RAM, build-in Intel Graphics, Samsung 960 NVMe SSD, Cakewalk V-Studio 100 -> using only the Input Ports with Drum Machine, Bass + Pre-Amp.
 
What I tried so far:
- de-installed Sonar via the Command Center and deleting all the registry keys, the folders and the roaming folder (as suggested in the Knowledge Base Article). Re-installed Sonar afterwards through the Command Center (latest Version)
- re-installed Windows from Scratch, installation of only the Updates provided in "Windows Update", installation of all the necessary Drivers and then installed Sonar through the Command Center (latest Version: 23.3.0.51)
- granted Admin-Rights and running Sonar in Compatibility Mode for both Windows 7 and Windows 8
- granted full rights/privileges for all Users (Admin, User, Authenticated User, myself)
- tried to start sonar from both the desktop icon, as well as trying to start it through the command center. tried to start it with Shift+Double-Click
 
I downloaded the Demoversion of Studio One the other Day and was able to record a basic song. V-Studio 100 works with Studio One. Input and Output Ports, MIDI: No Problems so far. So I guess the Problem is with Sonar and not with my (self-build) Machine.
 
I must admit, I run out of Patience with Sonar. I am studying Electrical Engineering beside work and most of the Time, when i got some free Space in my Calender and try to make some music, Sonar is letting me down. And that is, after I spent nearly 1000€ on Cakewalk Products (V-Studio 100, Cakewalk Sonar Pro plus one 12 Month renewal, different Books on Sonar, because I really wanted to dive into it...and so on). To be honest, I have been working as a Field Support Technician/ 2nd-Level-Supporter for more than 12 Years now and I never ran into these kinds of Problems I cannot solve. Reminds me of the Problems I had with some obscure German Audio-Software way back with Windows 98...
 
I hope someone here can provide a Solution or has an educated guess about what`s going on.
I appreciate all help...
 
Happy Eastern again from Germany.
Regards,
Stephan 

After that upgrade, I had to reinstall my audio device driver, roll back my video display driver, disable hdaudio device. 
+1 don't use compatibility mode. 
Try running sonar as administrator. 
All I can think of. 

OK I had some SONAR issues a few weeks back due to corruption of the C++ 2013 library. In my case NOT running as Admin was the only was I could do to get around things. Try that at first, also try repairing/updating the C++ 2013 package both x86 and x64....that's a bit of a stab in the dark, but it may help. You can google the links for that make sure you download from Microsoft.
 
 
 

How frustrating for you. I guess you have tried it without the V studio connected and then with a different USB port. The copying files you mention does happen the first time you open the software.

You can install without the Command Center - download the software and complete an offline activation - but you might still get the error.

If you're on Facebook there is a group that might be able to help you:



I hope you can get the problem sorted.
