Hi,

I have been using a SOLIDWORKS 2024 Student version since April 2025. Since January 22nd 2026 the program and sometimes the entire PC crash when I try to start SOLIDWORKS. Anyone else has experienced this? Last time I used the program was on January 20th 2026. 

The PC meets the system requirements, but my graphic card was recently moved to "list of older graphics cards supported by SOLIDWORKS but no longer certified with newer releases of SOLIDWORKS"Might this be the problem? I am not intending to use the SOLIDWORKS 2026 version on this PC. The 2024 Version worked fine for 9 Months with my Nvidia Quadro M500M.

Many thanks in advance!
