Hi all
 
I'm still struggling with BA hanging up when it starts up. The rectangular window opens, and there is a Windows logo (four squares pulsing one corner after another round and round). Window is greyed out, and appears to be trying to do something, but I've left this running for hours at a time and still it persists.
 
I've uninstalled the 3.0.6 version and re installed the 3.0.9 version a few times, but still nothing.
 
Cakewalk is working now, but I worry about how am I going to get updates if I can't get the assistant to work.
 
Does anyone have any experience on how to get this up and running?
 
(i'm on Windows 10 by the way)
 
Thanks!

Did you try deleting the two folders before re-installing BA as mentioned in my last post? These are created when BA installs, but it seems that (in my case at least) something left in one of them was preventing BA from launching properly. The folders are located at C:/users/(your user name)/AppData/Roaming, and they are called "Bandlab Assistant" and "bandlab-assistant." You should delete these after you uninstall  BA, but before you reinstall it. 

 
 
Hey Stevecase19
 
Thanks so much for the post. I must have missed your earlier post. 
 
Your trick worked instantly.
 
Greatly appreciated, my friend!

Missing Feature After Update! Hi there, after the latest update the option to "Disable Handshake" in the Utilities>"Name of Control Surface" box has disapeared.

This renders my QCon Pro X control surfaces unresponsive and unusable. Are there any plans to bring back this tick box in a future update, or has the option been moved somewhere else? Anyone got a workaround for this?

Seems like a very odd thing to remove in an update. Anyone experiencing similar issue please share experience, and devs please look into this issue. Very disappointing not be able to use 24track motorized setup that I've been using with no problems for so long. Very pleased with CW by BL otherwise, keep up the great work.
 
Thanks!

This option isn't available on the standard MackieControl.dll that ships with SONAR / CbB.
 
I suspect you were using Azslow's enhanced version, which does have this option.
 
Unfortunately both SPLAT / CbB replace this with the stock version on every update, which is a PITA, but easily fixed - just copy Azslow's version back into C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Surfaces

Installed latest updates and all went smooth. I've been working in CbB for the last cuppla hours... smooth, glitch free, no crashes! Noel, thx for adding the colors to all themes. I can now make my ellipse's yellow without losing track colors! Also, Melodyne note preview now working in all tracks. Awesome... thx, Bakers! Keep it up. Can't wait to see what else you've got coming. You have put the excitement back into Cakewalk.
