Did we decide there is nothing to worry about with that "database error" (for plugin categories I think)?
 
I got it once and ignored it - right after installing 2016.12. I went and checked and there were a few plugins disabled (which I don't really use) - so I reset and rescanned all my plugins, (and enabled the "disabled" plugins) and everything *seems* fine

no issues rescanning all plugins with process monitor open (as suggested in the workaround)
 
BUT ... the installation has again (like 2016.11) added 2 VST path entries, bringing back all the 32bit plugs that I had excluded from the scan
 
... and it resets to using Tungsten (instead of custom theme)

A while back I had a problem with a 32bit path returning to my scan path. Ultimately I found it in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Cakewalk VST\Paths. After deleting the entry, it never returned again.

In both 2016-11 & 12 updates my 10K worth of 3rd party plugins (Waves,Izotope,Slate,Etc) have disappeared from the effects bin dropdown menu even though they are registered in the plugin manager (Rescan/reset done) and show up in tracks in my projects where they were previously inserted on the tracks. My problem is that I cannot insert any new plugins because they are not in the dropdown menu. The cure is to use a windows restore point to get my 3rd party plugins back in the effects bin menu because rollbacks do not work once the updates were installed. I have Sonar Artist on the same computer and it does not have this problem. So, until this is resolved I cannot update Sonar Platinum.

Check your plug-in layout setting. The layout setting is at the top of the plug-in menus and In the browser it is in the menu in the Plugins tab.

Docking the Synth Rack to right side on top will cause the delete button on keyboard stop working. undocking or docking at the bottom will solve the issue.

Great article in the e-zine on the loop construction Craig.  I enjoyed that.  A video on that type of thing would be really great.  I currently work with drum VST's but I wonder if getting a library of drum loops would be easier and better in the long run.

The other thing is the Sound on Sound on midi recording doesn't do it's job and deletes the older layer.
Technically there is no difference between sound on sound and overwrite at this point.

This update doesn't work also. I have to go back to 10 again.
It messes up my screen. I have no windows clock any more. No synth rack.
I think I don't  update anymore. I need a stable platform for my business

Not sure what you mean by windows clock, but choose synth rack from views menu and you will see it again. Plus you have lots of docking choices with it now.

If it is your business, then perhaps it's worth reading the ezine and documentation for each release.

When I start Sonar, the windows clock in windows tray disappear. When I select synth rack from the menu I see empty space or a frozen copy of the prochannel.
I´ve read the documentation but these bug weren't mention.

So, the fixes for Melodyne didn't need an actual Melodyne update? Or is it a separate download from their website?

Usually a separate download which you can access through melodyne itself.

Got a crash when exporting now too. While I've had other issues with Splat, this hasn't previously been one of them. The only differences I can see between an export that caused a crash and one that didn't was that the one that had a crash did so when I had a VSTi open and that it was for only one track. The export file was created without any issue. The successful export with no crash was for the entire project and no VSTs were open at the time.
 
I've not tested Melodyne in this patch so far. Not worked up the nerve yet.

the dedicated "marker" button on the VS-700 does not create a marker any more (while keyboard shortcut "M" still works) ... apparently the MIDI message which the button triggers is no longer mapped properly to adding a new marker in Sonar ...
 
I could work around by adding a MIDI translator to link the VS-700 MIDI message to the keyboard shortcut "M" ... however, this only works when Sonar is the application which got the focus ... so I'd much appreciate this being fixed again soon
