Crashes on windows startup

[Jerrk]

VM version: 3.0.2.0 VMWV version: 1.7.2.0 windows version: 10.0.19044 Build 19044

noticed this in the past couple of weeks that vmwv would crash on reboot/power on. i've restarted maybe 10x in the past 2 weeks and i've noticed it crashed 8-9 times - very frequent.

the space in the taskbar for the icon is blank, and right-clicking does not bring up a menu.

taskmanager shows it running but it is unresponsive.

changing the windows volume does not change the voicemeeter volume

ending the task and then relaunching works with no issue

heres my settings.json

Thanks for the heads up. I'm seeing this on my end too, now. I'm going to push out a new version very soon.

I'm still getting this issue sometimes, maybe every 5 reboots or so.

Same behavior as OP
