Every time I close Notion 5, I get an error message, which says "Notion Has Stopped Working." I can reopen it with no problem, and this doesn't seem to cause any problems, but it's annoying. Why does this happen?

I have been experiencing the same problem. Are you using many VST's in your file? I'm only using a couple of VST instruments and it appeared to be crashing Garritan GPO 4 on shutdown. I uninstalled/reinstalled it and so far have not had any problems, but this was last night and I've only started/shutdown 4 times since then.

Thank you for responding. I'm only using the Notion sounds. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use vst's or not.

I wonder if this something that would be fixed by upgrading?

I don't think Notion can Close or Quit correctly without some bit of disk access. It may be that if the hdd is waking-up it may be too late and causes Notion to crash? As a quick test I'd try opening an existing file, play some short 5-10 sec. portion of it and then Quit Notion to see if it crashes as you've previously had happen. ,Newberry  |

An interesting thought. I do put my computer to sleep when I'm done with a session, but it's not automatic, I do it manually. It is not set for sleep mode on its own.

I'm referring to an "idle" (sleeping) -hard drive- power saving mode setting. Not the fully sleeping computer mode. The hhd has an idle setting which stops or minimizes it from spinning if a desired setting is made.. Performance power saving plans IMO should be turned off. • How to Turn Off Hard Disk After Idle in Windows 10 If you have set to turn off hard disk after idle, then you will experience a delay if you restart explorer since you will have to wait for all disks turned off to spin back up and turn on before explorer is restarted. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/21454-turn-off-hard-disk-after-idle-windows-10-a.html  ,Newberry |

Ah, I see what you're saying. OK, I just did what you suggested, setting it to "never." I'll have to wait until I open Notion, do some work and then close it to see if this solves the problem.

Just tried it out, and it still gave me the error message. The setting was 20 minutes, which I changed to "never." But I still have the problem. Still, a very good guess, I had high hopes it would work. Back to the drawing board.

michaeldiemer1 wroteEvery time I close Notion 5, I get an error message Maybe you can isolate the issue a little more. • Before you Quit Notion, first Close any presently open Notion document. Crash occur? • If it didn't crash then Quit Notion. Does Notion crash with the error message? • Also as before, after Notion has been open a while and you expect it will crash with the error message, first Save or Save As before you Quit Notion. Quit Notion. Still crash? • One more bit of important information to know. What is the audio device buffer setting?. ,Newberry |

Tried your suggestions, John, it still crashes. I routinely save before closing, so that doesn't make a difference. But I don't close the project before quitting Notion, so I tried that, and still got the error.

michaeldiemer1 wroteTried your suggestions, John, it still crashes. I forgot to ask what the Buffer Size was set to. Accessed from the Control Panel in the Notion Preferences Audio tab. For general use a size of 512 samples is good. Less if live recording MIDI keyboard. If that setting was ok and not a suspect in this issue try this. • Disconnect any hardware audio device along with any other MIDI interface boxes. • Set the Notion Preferences to use the Windows default audio device. • Open and listen to some Notion scores using the Windows audio from speakers or headphones for awhile. Now when you close documents or Quit Notion does it still crash and show the error message? ,Newberry |
