LV2024Q3 32-bit stability issues and lock-ups in development environment

[danny_t]

Hi ,

I am genuinely interested in finding out peoples option of the LV2024Q3 32-bit release with Windows 10.  Having renewed my SSP I have updated from LV2021SP1 to LV2024Q3 as this supports Windows 11 and I need to upgrade.

I have found my development environment repeatably freezes and often the freeze becomes a full lockup and I have no option but to kill the dev environment in task manager. This seems to occur when I have several VI's open at the same time with a number unsaved changes. I go to save changes in one and the Windows blue circle appears and I can do nothing in LabVIEW and have to kill it. I also have inconsistent issues building executables. 

This is a fully working DQMH based project written in LV2021.  I did take a git branch out and mass compile the full project in LV2024Q3, for me this is the worst version of LV I have experienced in many years and I have for now reverted back to LV2021.

So are others seeing issues or am just me? please let me know.

LabVIEW introduced in 2024 that your opened code can be saved in the original version. Some users experience issues with that. Additionally there were saving issues known in 23 and there are indications that there are still some in 24. So yes, it is plausible that you see this. File a bug report and meanwhile try to set your save version to 24. https://www.ni.com/docs/de-DE/bundle/labview/page/saving-for-a-previous-version.html

I'd set it to "editor version". This is 24, but has a different impact when opened in future versions of LabVIEW.

Also, did you install LV24Q3f2? LabVIEW 2014 Patch Details - NI. It might not help, but shouldn't hurt.
