Lightburn not responding crash

Having an issue with Lightburn crashing, usually it happens while the computer is connected to the laser. After making a cut if I go back to the computer it is locked up and I have to close the program and restart the laser. Today while working on a design it crashed continually. I have a brand new computer which should handle the program easily. After reading through several forum posts I found where a call stack should be captured. Just looking to see if anyone else is having the same issue. I am getting a not responding error and the whole screen dims.

Anyone have any idea what’s going on with this crashing I described. Thanks

Mac? Windows? Windows 11?
Need more info.

Windows 11 pro 12th gen intel i9, 64 gb RAM, 64 bit operating system. Nvidia RTX A5500 graphics card

Okay so it just crashed again. I ran a job on the laser and it was fine. When I went back to make the final design change I went back to the program and it was froze up, It displayed the not responding error. I ran the process explorer and this is what the call stack shows.

Anyone have any idea what is going on here. I’m sure its a simple fix but I cant find it

Thank you

I also ran reliability monitor on the laptop and this is the explanation given for the crash.

Thank you for reporting this.
LightBurn shouldn’t crash.

I have shared this with the Dev team internally and we will attempt to replicate the hang. Are you willing to share the LBRN or LBRN2 file?

If so, you can post it here or email it to Support@LightBurnsoftware.com with a link to this forum thread and a note so we can follow this up right away.

JohnJohn,

Sure no problem. I sent the email it to the support email with the link and the file.
Thank you.

I’ve never seen this before - The file is not complex enough to cause any problems, and the call stack you provided is showing that it’s hung up querying the serial port to see if it’s valid.

Can you re-run the LightBurn installer, and check the box at the end to install the FTDI driver? That’s the one used by the chip in Ruida controllers - I’m wondering if perhaps you installed a bad driver, or the one you have got corrupted somehow.

I can try that however that was done already at the request of Aeon.
Here is the other crashes I recorded maybe they will help.

Every one of those crashes is in that function, which is part of the Windows NT kernel (IE, the low-level operating system code).

If I was a betting man, I’d say there’s a decent possibility that something in Windows itself is corrupted. Do you have any other computers you can try this on? I assume this is Windows 10?

I do not have another computer to try, my last one was 12 years old. Actually it is a brand new Dell 7770 running Windows 11 Pro. Should I try a reinstall of windows?

I hate to suggest it, but honestly it’s worth a shot, yes.
