Hi All,

Recently I wiped one of my computers and started over again and now that everything is up and running again Avid MC doesn't want to launch!

When I launch Avid I get this message "an error occurred while changing thread priority. Exception std, exception, what:TreadImpWin: can't set ABSOLUTE thread priority the application must quit."

and then the only option is to quit avid

I am running windows 10 pro and Avid MC 8.5

Thanks!

It sounds like the install is corrupted. Uninstall and try again.
