Guitar Rig 7 Upgrade does not start
I installed Guitar Rig7 as an upgrade to Guitar Rig 6. After first installation in 2/2024 it worked.
Now it doesn't start anymore . I have installed Windows10 Pro 22H2, Build 19045.4170.
I tried several activities to solve:
o Delete HKEY_CURRNT_USER>Software>Native Instruments> Guitar RIG7 in the registry
o reinitialization of database by deleteing Guitar Rig 7 Folder within appdata
o reinstall Guitar Rig7
Nothing solved the problem.
Does anyone suffers from the same and/or anyone has a soltuin?
Many Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for the information.
I am not completely sure because looking up specifications can be difficult to understand and sometimes the same graphics adapter has been seen in more models using different models of NVidia chips !
However in this case then immediately I am leaning towards a too poor graphics adapter. Not sure though and I can not guarantee that it will solve your problem but it is my guess !.
Guitar Rig 7 requires : Graphics hardware support for Direct 3D 11.1 (Feature Level 11_1) or higher
Your graphics card Geforce GT710 on this page says : DirectX 12 (11_0) and you will find the same numbers on the Wikipedia page in column for DirectX !
This is a bit difficult to understand for common users , but even while that it says DirectX 12 then the actual Feature Level shown in the parenthesis is only 11_0 rather than the 11_1 that it needs to be ! Again , this is a best guess at what is the cause to the problem here !
I did an assessment a month back with respect to a graphics card replacement suggestion, I don't know if it has your interest or how valid it still is but here is the link !
P.S.

Does GR7 crash or just not open ? Are there any error messages ? Have you by any chance installed new things lately of do you have things running that could disturb the GR7 ?
What is your graphics adapter ? Have you tried updating drivers or reverting to latest download from manufacturers site ?

Hello PoorFellow, many thanks for your response.
- GR7 does not crash, but does not open. When I start even with administrator rights 2 or 3times this blue action ring turns, but after that nothing happens.
- I happen to read out a dump file which tells: Failure_bucket_ID: Invalid_Pointer_Read_c0000005_Guitar_Rig_7.exe!Unknown
- My graphics adapter is a Geforce GT710 (which is I admit an older Model) The driver date is 2020.31.12.
- This machine is only for Native Instrument purposes. GR6 runs quite well. New Installed software is only Windows Update, so I only use Internet to occasionally check for new N.I. Updates and when buying new N.I. Software.
- When you talk of things running that could disturb GR7, is there anything specific you think of?
- Greetings Gitjoerg

Concur with Poorfellow.
GR7 requires VERY current graphics to display the UI etc. Fix this and all should be good.
