Hi all,
This is my first post on Cakewalk's forum so I felt that I should make it informative. Yesterday I updated Windows 10 to the latest 15063 "creative" update and all was well except for one very important thing. I fired up SP, loaded a project I'm currently working on, and hit the space bar. To my dismay small portions of MIDI playback would arbitrarily dropout. Prior to the update I had yet to experience such drama. I raised some buffer settings to no avail. I raised ASIO buffer size in both VSL controller and SP but ZIP...nada...nothing. The dropouts kept coming. So what did I do, I reverted to the prior version and BAM! No dropouts. I should have left well enough alone especially when I'm not experiencing any issues at all. I just wanted to see what I can see. I suffer from EAS.... Early Adopter Syndrome. 
 
Hope this may help someone.
 
Regards,
Sajid

As I stated, I rolled back to the previous version of Win 10 and that took care of the issue.

Probably best to not label the thread as solved.  It will alert other users to a possible issue without implying there is a solution. It is not so much solved as avoided:)

Midi working fine for me on 15063. What VST's are giving you dropouts?

Change your midi buffer from 250ms to 500ms

Raising buffer levels was the first thing I tried but the dropouts still continued.
