Useless Because it crashes every 2 minutes

Doesn't seem to matter what you are doing or doing nothing at all daz just completely vanishes. Another thing is where do I enter the serial number it says I am supposed to enter the first time it opens, which it never asked. Just started a tutorial automatically and partway through the tutorial it crashes.

If Daz Studio crashes on you regularly I can understand your frustration. However, that is not normal behaviour for the program. I have several installations on different machines and they are all pretty stable, so something is definitely amiss. We just need to find out what. Daz Studio does keep a log of activity and should give us an idea of what is happening. Here is what to do:
Since the log file is continuous and will grow quite large over time, it is useful to reduce it in size for troubleshooting purposes. If you go to the Help menu in Daz Studio, click on Troubleshooting in the drop down menu, then View Log File. It is plain text and should open in your text editor. Rather than scroll through looking for errors, wipe the slate clean by selecting all the text and deleting it, then save the resultant blank document. That will give you a clean log file. Now, restart Daz Studio and use it to run the tutorial. When it crashes, re-open Daz Studio and go immediately to the log file as before and scroll down until you come to the point where the crash occured. Copy the text starting just before that point and and post it here so we can see what might be happening.
As for entering your serial number (available from your Serial Numbers section in your account here on the Daz site), you can do that by accessing Help > Register DAZ Studio and entering your serial number.
I have similar experience as @SixDs . Studio is extremely stable for me.
yep, same experience as sixDs also, DS is very stable for me. Probably an issue on your end with your PC.
I confirm what has been already said. I'm using the Beta and I see a couple of crashes per week maybe, using it daily.
I guess we may be talking apples and oranges to a certain extent without realizing it. At least I am guilty. When LenioTG mentioned the Beta, a light came on. I should have made it clear that the stable installations that I was referring to are all release versions, not betas. Unless I really wish to participate in beta testing, I don't use beta versions of anything. I certainly do not use them in place of what DAZ3D refers to as the General Release (4.10). The latter is the stable one. The Beta version, as I mentioned, is for testing purposes to identify bugs prior to being deemed stable and becoming a new General Release. Testing is the entire purpose of the Beta. It is the only purpose of the Beta. I know that the Beta may have features that the General Release does not, and users may be willing to use it instead of the General Release, especially since it supports the newest Nvidia cards while the General Release does not. However, that does not change the fact that it should not be considered a stable version. That will need to wait until DAZ3D decides it is ready to be the new General Release, and there is no clear indication of when that might be.
I think perhaps the DAZ Studio software development cycle has gotten a little off the rails recently, driven in large part by the release of Nvidia's RTX cards.
