I have downloaded and reinstalled sound forge 17.0.2 on a windows 11 Pro computer with Intel i7-13700 CPU, rebooted, and tried to launch. It would not launch and would not give any error message as a hint to why it would not launch. It just pops up a problem report window that says "SOUND FORGE Audio Studio 17 has stopped working". Reinstall did find and entered the serial number and the product shows as being active when I login and check products.

@Storyhub Some computer systems might encounter problems with the Magix Low Latency audio driver that gets installed alongside Sound Forge Audio Studio. This is an old version of ASIO4ALL and might be simply incompatible with modern operating systems or hardware.

If you want to uninstall Magix Low Latency you can press the Windows key + R on your computer keyboard, and type REGEDIT in the Open field:

Then navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ASIO > Magix Low Latency 2016:

Now, simply right click the Magix Low Latency 2016 folder, and delete it.

Then restart your computer. Please select the Restart option and not the Shut down option.

I hope this helps.

I cleared out all ASIO reg keys and files and folders. Did not solve the issue. The only thing that worked was to upgrade to sound forge 18 which says 17 does not work with the latest version of windows 11.
