update fail

I had several "did not complete properly" errors when trying to load from the Command Center. I went into my Cakewalk account, downloaded from one of the mirror sites (I think it was the #2 one), and all was well. 

hey man, things are such a mess, i reinstalled the update and what i got was a new entire version of sonar. with 2 new icons on my desktop. when i start sonar from my original icon a lot of my plugins don't load. as you can see they are in the "excluded" file. i have no idea what's going on. what i would really like to do is uninstall the new updates because most of them are things i'll never use, like the touch screen crap. fingerprints on my LCD make me nuts. i would appreciate any thoughts you have. i just want to go back in time 2 days and start over. if you can figure out how to go back in time please let me know because i really want to go back to 1972 and start over.
again, thanks so much

I agree with Craig. Especially on the libraries. MS libraries are critical in order for Sonar to run properly.
Also, if its hanging on Antares (Mic mod EFX=Antares) as it shows in your pic, you also want to run it in compadability mode. As a test, try not to use the VST3 plug in, stick with the VST 2.

i'm also not clear on what ANDERTON said about the windows 10 updates. how do i correct that?

 
In Windows settings, under Update and Security, click on Windows Update and with your computer connected to the internet, click on Check for Updates. It will likely be a really big download due to all the changes since the first version of Windows, so you might want to do it before going to a movie or something. 
 
Because it's such an old version, after doing the updates check again as there might be some additional updates that required having the first set of updates installed...at least Vista worked that way if you were trying to update a really old version.

hi everyone, thank you to everyone who helped me out. now, this is the question of the day. why does cakewalk change things without telling anyone? what happened after the update was one of the "fix's" seems to be changing the way to find plugins. example, click on add FX then channel strip, then i always had 3  things to choose now there is only one. however, when i click on "uncategorised" there i find PX-64 percussion strip (2 of them) and VX-64 vocal strip (2 of them). 
i don't know what they did but things are a real mess. 
i'm posting this here and i'm sending to cakewalk.  
if there is any way i can undo the last sonar update i would be happy to know. i want it back to where it worked great, not what i have now. 

hi and thanks for helping me, i did a windows update just last week. 
i'm at a loss.
i went to plugin manager then hit VST then reset all. 
i just looked at my desktop and i found an icon for pro channel, it's never been there before. i clicked on it and it downloaded my concrete limiter. then i checked plugin mgr. and it's not there.
i've been at this all day, i have to go. i don't know what else to do. i'd be grateful for any ideas.
