The other thing that John mentioned is a good place to look too: antivirus. 

If you haven't excluded your audio directory, every time you stop the transport, your AV may be being over-enthusiastic and treating the audio files as modified and scanning them.

I'm only using windows defender.... I can't seem to find where that exclusion would be.

Any insight???

Things you can do

Run Latency Monitor and check if your system is OK for audio streaming. 
Turn off the internet and see what happens 

3rd party anti virus?  
 

I tried some latency stuff... This isn't a latency issue. The program literally pauses for 7 seconds every time the transport stopes (playback or record).... I did lower the latency by lowering the number of samples to 256.  Internet disconnect doesn't help.

Recently,... whenever I hit the transport (record or play) and then stop, Cakewalk takes about 7 seconds before Cakewalk will allow me to do anything . It's as if the whole program is delaying so it can write something to the drive.  Since I'm all SSD, this kind of delay doesn't make sense. This has started happening in the last 3 months.  I can't figure out why.

While playing, I can skip backwards or forwards with no delay. As soon as I hit stop...it does....something for about 7 seconds. 

It's making Cakewalk unusable. 

Anyone got an answer???
