Music Maker 2026 Frozen at SetViews during startup

Hi,

When I installed Music Maker 2026 Premium a while back, it worked fine. I kept 2025 as well as that is now allowed. It also kept working. A few weeks ago when I started it up, I go the -59 error. The remedy as instructed by Magix:

Uninstall the software.
Delete the "installation.ini" file.
You can find the "installation.ini" file under C:\ProgramData\MAGIX\Programname]\installation.ini

I also removed the C:\Users\ClientSIC\AppData\Roaming\MAGIX\MM2026_Premium\ folder.

I did this and it worked.

Yesterday when I tried opening MM2026, it hung on the SetViews screen, after going through the VSTs with seemingly no problem. The only way out was through Task Manager. Then, I tried MM2025 and it did the same thing - froze at SetViews. See the images below.

I noticed that there is at least one user on the German forum with the same problem. No resolution.

I uninstalled/reinstalled MM2026 twice, removed the folders as per the above, rebooted, same problem.

So far as I know, I haven't changed anything with W11 25H2 and have not updated NVIDIA drivers, still on 581.42 Game Ready.

Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: I also put an exception in Bit Defender for Music Maker 2026 folder.

Thanks,

John CB

@peter1968 Ok, maybe it has something to do with the type of Windows installation that Dell or HP are doing, in case this was also a computer from them. Some vendors modify the system by installing their own Windows services. On my computer it always worked well.
