Noel,
sent the file via PM.

It's been happening to me since 2018.08 came out... Build 30 I believe, and again in 36 and now in 2018.09 build 29. Is there a place I can find 2018.07? I'd like to go back...

I keep a backup of all the previous versions, by copying the "Cakewalk Core" directory within c:\program files\Cakewalk and renaming it:
 

 
That way I can run the "Cakewalk.exe" from within each directory to run an earlier version.
 
I'll PM you a download link for my backup of 2018.07.

would be nice if this was a feature of the "assistant" app rather than this manual effort by the user

Yes, it would be a nice feature. But I'll manually perform the task from now on... I'd also like to add, that when this began, I posted and was contacted by a Mr. Sassor, I believe. After sending him a crash dump I was told that Melodyne was the culprit, and that I needed to contact them for a resolution, even tho Melodyne had not at that time changed. Blaming Melodyne was bum information, as I've got the problem explained here, but ended up chasing my tail on this because I was misinformed. Yes, I am a tad bent out of shape!!!
