Just to add to the confusion, I noticed in the CCC that ehre was an update to the "Cakewalk Loopmasters Content Collection"
 
I have tried to update it several times but keep on getting this message:
 

 
Does anyone have a clue what this means or how to fix it?
 
 
Cheers.

Thanks for explaining that. I am not that much of a PC guy, though I have heard of DOS! LOL

Me either, is that acronym for Don't Open Sonar, (update).
 
I'm guessing its probably not just me who cringe after pressing that update button. LOL.

Are these problems all unique to Win 10?
I don't seem to be having issues with Win 7x64 (studio) or Win7x86 (office).

It doesn't seem so, I'm using W10x64 (Build 14393.447) without any problems (so far).

This is a long shot, but are any of the users experiencing issues using Windows 'fast boot' ?

I wouldn't know what fast boot is or how you would go about using it.
 
I just switch my pc's on and let them do their thing

Well, my headaches continue. I've done 3 system restores to different dates and now Sonar won't open any projects. I've reset VSTs and rescanned as well. I can't roll back either. When I try, CCC tells me
 
"Setup has detected that your application is currently running. Please close all instances of it now, then click OK to exit."
 
There are no instances of sonar running in task manager. I've rebooted and tried to roll back several times with no luck. Sort of stuck on ver 10 after 1 successful roll back from ver 11. All the problems started after I updated to ver 11 in the first place. My faderport also craps out (no memory etc...I have 16 gigs!) Version 10 was rock solid before this last update (as were all the other updates since splat came out) At least I'm not alone in my misery but that's not much comfort. Hopefully there will be a magic patch and we can all get back to making music soon.

What this sounds like are drivers problems. I would reinstall all my audio related drivers. This would include your faderport as well.

'When Fast Startup is enabled, your computer doesn’t perform a regular shut down. Since applying new system updates often requires a shutdown, you may not be able to apply updates and turn your computer off. Restart is unaffected, though, so it still performs a full cold shutdown and restart of your system. If a shutdown doesn’t apply your updates you should use restart to complete installation'.  (howtogeek.com)
 
I've only mentioned this as 'fast start' causes plays havoc with my system, hence I've disabled it. It may explain why Windows update installation requires several restarts for some users. Saying that, I've just noticed that you're using W7 which, as far as I know, doesn't offer a fast start option.
