Vegas 18.0.0.527 "Render As" dialog not loading (0x80131501)

The "Render As" dialog is not showing in Vegas 18.0.0.527.

Instead, I'm getting this error:

An error occurred while creating the media file .
Error 0x80131501 (message missing)

There are some other folks who've gotten this issue, but their threads never had a final response.

I'm on Windows 10 64-bit, and I didn't have Vegas installed prior to trying. I installed Vegas 18 for the first time on this system, I registered. I dragged in a video clip, went to "Render As", and it threw up that error.

My hardware:

AMD Ryzen 5950X
64GB RAM
nVIDIA RTX 3090
nVIDIA GTX 970

The batch-scripting workaround won't work for me as my videos are 21:9. I don't have a way to render it properly with Vegas unless I add a new Render mode using the Render As dialog.

I tried installing the latest 527 as well as the older 434 version. What could be causing this issue?
