So was it a laptop originally owned by someone else? If so I recommend you do a thorough anti-virus check . If you look in Help > About Audacity... then the "Build Information" tab, what version of wxWidgets is mentioned and what is the build date? And if you search for Audacity in "U...

I used Audacity to record streaming audio from various web sites using the Windows Explorer web browser. Everything worked fine. But now, I am running Windows 10. I found tha...

It happened again. I was 10 hours into a project, which I had to leave for a few days. When I came back, I tried to 'recover' and all I got was Audacity with straight line - no audio. What you described before was Audacity crashing when using effects. Has that happened again? What you are describin...
