Audition 25.3 Crashes After Upgrade

Report · Jun 16, 2025

After upgrading to Audition 25.3 from 25.2, the application will no longer launch, and it crashes instantly. I had to uninstall and roll back to 25.2. I tried to upgrade twice, and immediately after the new installation, it failed to launch. Anyone else having this issue?

On a Windows 11 Business 24H2 Lenovo with 128 GB RAM, 2.40 GHz Intel Core. All other Adobe products work fine, and once I roll back to Audition 25.2, the crashing issue disappears.

I tried to uninstall and do a fresh install. This did not change the problem. Doing a straight update in Creative Cloud does not work, either.

Identical problem....same error! Windows Pro 11 24H2 Ryzen 7 5800X, 64GB RAM, 4GB Radeon GPU. Uninstalled Audition, Cleaned Registry, Rebooted, Cleaned Registry Again, Re-Installed Audition---Same Error. My daily workload is hours of audio production. I've had to roll back to v25.2 repeatedly just to get my work done. Super lame! Please fix this Adobe.

Same problem. I tried everything but it doesn't work! I'm going crazy. Did you find a solution?

The only way to solve this issue has been to roll the software back version by version until it launches again. I'm running 25.2.0 and keep the Creative Cloud from auto-updating. There is a bug with that software, I think. I have to turn on auto updates, but then deselect Audition, Media Encoder, and Premiere.
