I've made backups, deleted suspect titles with emojiis, not sure what else I can do it seems to be a track that's caused it.

it's a shutdown of VDJ and Windows so it's a real PIA.

Thank you
Mike

Did you try just deleting the cache.db file?
 
You can indeed just delete the database as it's only cached information.
If it crashes windows then it's likely you have some actual issues with the disk though.
 
Thank you fellas, I'll do that an replace the drive.

Happy 2026!
