I have issues that supports this. I lost use of the touch pad on my laptop around then. Am not able to get it back. This happened sometime after this last summer as well. Got corrected at a later date / Win update.
All the best.

i lost my touchpad after going from 8.1 --> 10, and then couldn't get "disabled" to stick (as i use a mouse), and like you this got foxed at some point via an update... i do think that all windows updates are visible via cp though, i don't think they're backdooring us with stuff

I am not by far familiar enough with Windows in general to give an educated guess, but it has coincided with Windows updates the last times. I have to use a mouse now. I do not even have the opportunity to select touch pad in Windows preferences. It is just missing...

One thing I have noticed lately on my Win 10 PC's is that Microsoft is shipping a lot of hardware driver updates with Windows Update. I don't know why.  Some of them appear to be vendor drivers, but no info is available.  I don't trust Microsoft to know what drivers are compatible with my PC.  Most crashes and blue screens are driver related.
 
For maximum compatibility, you are probably better off using only your hardware vendors supplied drivers to access all your available hardware features.
 
So I try to never install drivers from Microsoft if I can avoid it.  Some of these might be slipping thru when you perform monthly updates.
 
I have my monthly updates locked down, so that I can run them only when I am ready, and have made my backups.
Prior to allowing updates to download and install, I run a Microsoft utility called "wushowhide", and hide all the driver updates.  I keep them hidden, in a pseudo-quarantined state, so that WU cannot see them.  Wushowhide performs a search for any available updates for your PC.  In the GUI you can check ANY available updates that you wish to hide from WU.  This process is reversible, you can "un-hide" updates at any time as well. 
 
If you have automatic updates enabled, you will be toast.  They will install before you can hide them.

well for me it was a case of not-ready win10 drivers, so win10 was playing it safe - check the website of your touchpad manufacturer for win10 drivers?

No problems here running W10 AU and Splat 12.2016 until yesterday (Tue 27/12). Suddenly it got stuck on the splash screen when starting Splat.

After a lot of trial and error I managed to get it started by holding shift down when starting Splat. However all was not well and the Yamaha ASIO drivers for my Steinberg UR242 audio i/f had disappeared from within Splat although were still visible and working in W10.

So I removed / reinstalled the drivers in W10 and then Splat started normally and could see my ur242 again.

Incidentally, I dual boot Windows 7 /10 and Splat has been stable in Win 7.

Sorry, accidental post.

Running Sonar on my rig in compatibility mode made it totally inoperable.

Running my Sonar in Compatibility Mode causes Addictive Drums to not work! Not using CM causes crashing when removing softsynths.....
 
Boy, what a mess! Any resolution on the horizon?

Hi,
 
1) Was it ever stated or known WHICH Windows update is causing the issues?
 
2) Can reinstalling Sonar and/or hardware drivers AFTER the updates help? I had a recent issue with my audio drivers that seemed to go away after reinstalling them.
 
3) Why would running a system monitor change how Windows and Sonar interact?
 
Thanks!

Hi folks,
 
 For anyone in this thread that is still experiencing a 3rd Party plug-in crash on scan or load in SONAR on Windows 10, please post your CWBRN # below if you've submitted a crash dump along with the report.  If you haven't submitted a formal report yet (through Fault Reporter or https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Contact/Problem-Report), please do so and list the number here.
 
Thank you,
