Playlist Issues

Issues creating and deleting playlists in Engine. When I drag a folder into the software, the playlist isn’t created; when it is created, it doesn’t show the songs inside. The same thing happens when creating playlists directly within the software; sometimes the playlist isn’t created at all, and existing playlists cannot be edited or deleted. I am using an Acer Nitro V15 laptop (Intel i7, 32GB RAM) running Windows 11. Everything worked perfectly for about a year, but then these problems suddenly started. I reformatted the laptop and it worked again, but after using it a few times, the same issues reappeared. I tried installing the previous version (4.3.4)—which had also shown the same problems before I updated to 5.0. Nothing works, and with every installation of either version, the problems just seem to multiply. I am attaching a video that demonstrates some of the main issues.

When the program is closed and reopened, the playlist disappears. This happens every cycle.

Are you running Engine Desktop as Admin? Make sure #2 isn’t checked.

It only solved the problem of creating and editing playlists within the software. Now I can’t even drag songs into the software.

Hi alessandro. What version Windows 11 installed, in your PC? Assembly OS 19045.6466? Are you using an external storage device? If so: What type of boot sector does your ext. storage device have?

Hi Martin, how are you? It’s currently on version 26200.8737. I have two partitions on my laptop: Engine is installed on the C: partition alongside Windows, and my music is on the D: partition. I used this setup for about two years, and everything worked fine until about three months ago.
