Thanks a lot . Lynn!

When I want to make music, I do it in Everett Update 1. Foxboro and Gloucester introduced a couple of new issues, one of which, at least, is still present in Hopkinton. Still find the new Start Screen unhelpful/annoying.

What is the issue in Gloucester?

Dupe (grrr).

It introduced a couple of issues that slowed my workflow (e.g. An initial shift-select on tracks in TV fails to heighlight the tracks, the Zoom tool magnifying glass icon still present after Z-dragging). The Win 10 compatibility, new project templates and fixes Gloucester offered were irrelevant to me. So there's no reason for me to have it installed.

You do understand that each new version is a roll up of all previous versions, so if you finally take up an update at the Letter I then you will get all the Gloucester and Hopkinton code as well. Hope you've put in bug reports about the issues you are having.

i think this is a good example of having to suffer new features to get bug fixes

I like the new start screen--not that it matters really.
 
However, I have noticed some very odd things since the H update.  One of my projects failed to load at all--crash dump.  I narrowed it down to an instance of Izotope Nectar.  I actually have multiple instances of Nectar running, but it looks like just one instance on one track is causing the crash--the others loaded just fine.
 
Then last night EZDrummer started acting weird in a completely new project.  Crash dump in the middle of putting together a song.
 
I started digging in and noticed that my Saffire Pro 40 was set to 44.1 in preferences, but the hardware was set to 48 (which is my normal setting).  It's always a problem when there is a mismatch in sample rates so I corrected it in preferences and EZDrummer worked for hours.  Also noticed that "run as administrator" had been unticked on the Sonar shortcut.  
 
I haven't tested the Nectar project yet--I needed sleep!
 
The question is how did these things change?  It's run for months without changing and as soon as I installed the H update it changed.  As much as I hate to say it, if you're having problems with the H update you might want to go through preferences and settings with a fine tooth comb.  It sucks having to do maintenance when you just want to sit down and write or play.  For me, nothing kills creativity more than switching into IT guy mode.  (I'm a sysadmin by day).

The Shift-select issue was fixed in Hopkinton and the Z-drag issue has already been reported by Keni. If the next release comes with a feature or bug fix that outperforms the inconveniences of Start Screen, I'll update. Otherwise, I'll just stay with Everett Update 1. I like the old Quick Start dialog.

In my case ( to have to roll back) it´s I guess my fault ,
cause of slowness in working on songs -
still there are some parallel running 32 bit projects and sonar versions in my box-
that´s the next step I have to go-  to get rid of the 32 bit  stuff......
