Renders will not start after render completed

I was doing test renders of one of the earlier scenes that had been modified when I accidentally let the rendering hit complete due to there being low complexity of content in the scene and it didn't take so long compared to normal. Now every time I start rendering anything it will not do anything other than show the render box, the RAM use stays low so it shows it is not doing anything and stays that way. I have reloaded and restarted it multiple times as well as clearing options but it has the same thing, I can tell why it is that you don't let the render scene complete as it is no longer functioning but how do I get it to work again after accidentally allowing it to complete?

    That has nothing to do with letting the render complete itself. Unfortunately figuring out what is going on is going to be trickier. Whata re your hardware details, and what is your video card driver version? If you render and cancel (assuming you can) then go to Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File what are the render-related block of messages at the end?

    AMD B350M with Ryzen 5 2600 (100% depreciated now but I can't afford to keep replacing the MB and CPU so it has to stay)

    16 GB RAM

    Nvidia GTX960 (4GB Version)

     

    It woiuld increase RAM use before as normal but I observe rendering not starting now as the RAM usage will not increase at all and stays at whatever it was at before starting, I can leave it 5 or 10 times as long as it would normally take but it doesn't start or increase RAM use in that time. I can't access driver version as I am on on Windows 11 as instructions only show for 10 and following leads to a dead end.

     

    On trying to open Daz Studio I now find that it will not open at all, I click the icon in the start menu but yet it does nothing.

    If DS doesn't open, it's probably still trying to close the previous session => Does not allow starting another, you need to stop the previous session with Task Manager.

    The DS log is the best place to start troubleshooting (Help->Troubleshooting->View Log File)

    If you want us to have a look, attach the log to your post as a file.

    I managed to get Daz Studio to reopen without using task manager since it has changed on W11 and seems to only display open windows with no other function. I believe there is another one amongst the hidden service tools according to what information I can find but I have no access to it.

    Task Manager should have a More details option at lower-left, if it hasn't been removed.

    The log shows that it is rendering. What happens if you create a new scene, click the Defaults button in Render Settings, and then create a new primitive - will that render sucessfully?

    A new primitive on its own almost renders straight away, Where is the tempoary cache located for DS? I have a feeling it might be causing it to act up.

    The temp folder is set in Edit>Preferenfces (Daz Studio>Preferences on a Mac).
