VS Ultimate 2019 closed

[zehavi]

Hello,
Recently, while working with VS Ultimate 2019, the program suddenly has been closed. The computer didn't freeze, just like nothing happened.
It happened to me several times. Any suggestions what should be done?
Thanks,
Abraham

while working with VS Ultimate 2019, the program suddenly has been closed. The computer didn't freeze, just like nothing happened.

Since at least X10, VS has been notorious for silent crashes during editing and whilst rendering (see viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62625).

Any suggestions what should be done?

If VS silently crashes during editing then I simply reopen the VSP and continue editing until the next silent crash. If VS2018 silently crashes whilst rendering then I save the VSP in the X8 format and open that in an early version of VS for rendering.

Thank you tletter,
I have read the viewtopic you sent me.
So as the version of the program is higher, it becomes less reliable?
I wonder if Corel is aware to this phenomenon.

That's my experience with VS2018 and VS2019.

Undoubtedly Corel knows as they frantically issue numerous large SPs. However that doesn't seem to bother Corel as their objective appears to be adding features at the expense of stability and reliability.

זהבי,
set your auto save to 1 min and hope for good.
Stability is old fashion, now new bells make more noise.

My approach is not to rely on AutoSave rather to manually save after every single change made which prevents the loss of any work when VS silently crashes. I've also experienced VS saving a VSP and then subsequently being unable to reopen the saved VSP. Hence you might want to ensure that you have a functional VSP at the end of a day's work which can be done by saving the VSP as in an older format as well, e.g. saving a VS2018 VSP as a X8 VSP even though there maybe some loss of features.

Thank you tletter and asik1 for your useful advices.
At least I am happy that this is not a problem related to my personal program or computer.
