Annoying popup everytime I perform any action

Annoying pop up EVERY time I do anything

Hi. I’ve seen this posted by a couple of others and it’s never shown a resolution. I updated today (yes, it’s been a while since I needed to use Audacity) but every single time I do anything, I get an Audacity Information pop up, along the lines of the picture below: [audacity] It’s SO annoying and I can’t find any setting anywhere. I haven’t turned anything on manually, and it’s making me want to get rid of Audacity after 15+years. Please help!

I am facing this exact issue in the latest version.

I installed it two days back and was working fine till few minutes ago.

And suddenly without changing any settings it has started showing this ‘Audacity Information’ popuo after every action I perform..

Also.. I tried Tools > Reset Configuration ..

And got another popup immediately. Lol.

@irajnish (and @Mega), it seems like you have logging enabled. This is an option which has to be set at compile time. To fix this, you need to download an Audacity version which doesn’t have it enabled, which you can do at audacityteam.org.

Where did you get this Audacity version from?

[irajnish]

I got this from audacityteam official website.

Btw, restarting the system has fixed the issue for me.

Issue started happening randomly without any setting change and got fixed by a restart. strange.

very strange. Next time you run into this issue, take note what other programs you have launched. Maybe one of them tries to be a logger or debugger or something and tries to hook into Audacity.

@irajnish could you share the OS version you are using and the versions of “Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable” that are installed?

Screenshots of winver and installed apps would work.

By this you mean that this started while you were working in Audacity? Could you remember what operations you performed when this happen, or how long it was running before that?

Yes I was working for over 2 hours.
Don’t exactly remember the actions.

Just the normalisation, compressor, limiter on different files one by one.
Also used View > History to undo changes, occasionally.

Sorry if this sounds basic, but never assume…

Does it keep doing this after restarting the computer?

[irajnish]

@wrecks0 No. I never faced this issue again after yesterday.
