Only one minor annoyance noticed...
 
This last update left me temporarily sound-less after switching my default audio device to the long-disabled Realtek interface. Why on earth it would decide to re-enable a device just to mess with me is a mystery. Maybe somebody at MS read my posts saying not to worry, Windows won't break SONAR and decided "yeh, we'll see about that!".
 
This on the heels of last week's update, which switched my default to the built-in speakers of my HDMI-connected monitor.

Turn off your Windows 10 updates.   I haven't updated my Windows 10 OS in a long time.  After the first Windows 10 update my Addictive Drums 2 didn't work any longer.  After I fixed that problem, I blocked Windows 10 updates and never had another problem.

Since all the other "alternatives" for Sonar have Windoze or Mac versions.. It might be a good time to consider jumping to Mac OS.

I'm tired of this Microsoft bs.

You might want to have a look at the Mac forums when they do an OS update. They have their own bs to deal with.  It's just more expensive s*** :)

 I did have to go into Sonar and select my ASIO driver again.

Why oh why do people get so negative?

Yeah, the Fall Creators Update hoofed out my v700 driver. Which is odd, given that the other Creators update earlier in the year didn't.

Hey, how do you turn them off. I've deferred the updates, but I don't know how to actually stop them?
