Nuendo freezes after exporting or performing local rendering

Nuendo 15.0.30 64bit2026.8.13 0.47.44.663.dmp (2.1 MB)

Can someone help me figure out what the problem is? It’s been bothering me for months. Whenever I export or render locally, this situation happens when I go back to working in Nuendo.

If Nuendo freezes after an export or rendering process (such as Render in Place)—often while the timecode continues to run or at 100% progress—this is usually due to conflicts with video tracks, graphics card drivers, cloud services running in the background, or specific plug-ins.

This is a curious one. The failure is an access violation in the Windows Component Object Model. It means it’s trying to access memory that it’s not allowed to, likely due to a bad address. What’s curious is that I see several references in the dump to a web address for dev.azure.com.

Are you running on a standalone machine?

Yes, it’s running on a standalone machine, and apart from Windows updates, graphics card driver updates, and Nuendo upgrades, there haven’t been any other software installations or updates. I searched for errors related to combase.dll, and many people reported that it was caused by NV drivers, but I’ve already tried many different driver versions and it’s still the same.
