After reading all these posts for the hell of it (downloading some more crap) it really looks like computer build problems, having said that not a burp from my rig and its a home built. Me thinks perhaps cake is doing the best they can chasing down a problem for a small amount of folks. Good luck with getting up and running again guys.

I would give version 12 a big thumbs up as of now.
2016.11 definitely broke a few things as did the Win 10 update and this combined to hose my laptop setup - but I'm still running Win 7 on my DAW and so far no problems

Does your Delete key work ?  Seems 12 has some problems with that :   Delete key no longer works?.
 
I just updated to 12, but haven't used it yet (and wonder if I should...)
 
It's a strange feeling to fear installing an update.  I used to look forward to it.

Delete key works here with 2016.12, but I'm using a standard keyboard. I've also rolled back and returned for testing purposes with no issues.
 
 

One thing I get with 12 is that Sonar insists on bringing forward some previously opened application when it opens a project, so it's always initially under another program's window.
 

My delete key stopped working as well.  I switch my lens from 'none' to anything else and it works.  Ended up editing the Advanced lens and saving it as a custom.  Also, my insert 'Mark' button on my Alphatrack has stopped working as well.  Can't find a fix for that one.  Argh... Work flow has been disrupted. 
 
PS:  I'm running Windows 7 64bit, so this is not just a Windows 10 issue.
 
 
Edit:  Looks like the Insert Mark issue is being addressed.   Been so busy I haven't had to read the forums.  :-)  

Well although This has helped me understand what's going on, It certainly won't help with fixing it. Good reads here!

You are responding to a thread that is over a year old.

son of a... wow. I totally was having issues and thought this was happening. Mind blown, sorry to interrupt the 1+ year long slumber! 

I am having a  problem after windows 10 updates that they give us no choice on with no sound when i bounce or email Mp3 or wave files . I am considering uninstalling windows updates

Please can you give an update Cakewalk. You are advertising xmas holiday bundles, but all I want for xmas is a stable system back. I now cannot have clients here, due to crash after crash. Please update me so I can update my clients. 
 
Appreciated.
