Today, I switch the base frame rate from 30p to 60p to test latency between the two. when it started back up Vmix crashed then it eventually locks the whole computer up. Is there a way to change this setting back outside of vmix from the registry or a config file? I'm not seeing it.

See our supported hardware page to make sure you have a decent NVIDIA graphics card if trying 60p: https://www.vmix.com/sof.../supported-hardware.aspx Regards, Martin vMix

It's got a Nvidia 1050 ti, 16GB ram, Windows 10 64bit

I deleted the vmix configs and last config out of appdata but it still does the same, so I guess it's a reinstall. Edit: Re-installed and even was able to load my last config with no issues.. Makes no sense but, hey it works! Event logs show vMix crashing along with DWM.exe crashing with Error code: : 0x80070057

It's got a Nvidia 1050 ti, 16GB ram, Windows 10 64bit vMix makes heavy use of the graphics card, so if there is a fault there it can cause problems. Try the latest drivers and see if that helps. DWM also crashing indicates it is a graphics card issue as that is also involved in the rendering of window elements.
