So, what was the software that was causing the problem? I'm curious.

Should File Indexing be turned on or off on hard drives? It is turned off on my audio drive but, turned on on my system drive. Is this correct?

I have this issue happening, too. Also, the console emulator is not displaying properly in the Pro Channel unless you turn it on and, most of the FX thumbnails in the Pro Channel module selection are no longer working.

Oops! Ha ha! Typo! I'll have to fix that. That's kind of what I was thinking about the paging file, based on some things I had been hearing. Gonna give it a try.

I have 32 ghz RAM (2666 mhz PCH 21300), so, should I need a paging file at all? I really don't understand a lot about it.

What's the recommended size for the virtual memory/paging file? Should it be the same on the C drive and the audio drive?

I will try this on my Dell XPS. I have always just turned it off because "you're supposed to". Also, there is a setting for Intel SpeedShift. Any idea if that should be enabled, as well. I have it disabled.

Can you upload one of your projects to see if we can reproduce the issue? if it closes okay in Safe Mode, I wonder if there's a plugin that you're using that's crashing on project close. Not quite sure how/where to upload a project. Also, if you don't have all the same plugins I am using, will that tell you anything? I'm a little confused.

Jonathan Sasor - When I click the X to close the project, cakewalk.exe closes in Task Manager. It does not do it in a new, blank project. When I open a project in Safe Mode with no plugins, it closes normally. Also, Cakewalk shows "Very High" power usage in Task Manager. Is that normal? Just out of curiosity, I tried this in Studio One and it works fine. Also, it shows "moderate" to "high" power usage in Task Manager.

Thanks, I will try this later this evening when I'm in the studio.

Since the latest update, when I try to just close the current open project, it closes the entire program. If I have a project open and click the X to just close that project, it closes and brings up the Start Screen. I click on Existing Project and boom! The entire Cakewalk program closes. Sometimes when I try to close the project, it immediately closes the entire program but, the Start Screen still comes up, free-floating and when I click on Existing Project, it just closes. Is anybody else seeing this behavior? What can I do to fix it?

So, mine is set to 1. Should I set it to 2? I get frequent, random dropouts. Might this help with that?

What should the Recording Timing Master and Playback Timing Master be set to? I have Rec set to ASIO input 1 and PB set to ASIO Output 1. I use a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 and Octopre. The 18i20 and Octopre are connected via ADAT. The Octopre is the master and the 18i20 is clocked to the Octopre. So, I'm wondering if my Rec and PB Timing need to be set to the ADAT inputs and outputs? Or, does any of this make any difference at all?

FWIW, I have been experiencing dropouts since the update before this last one. If I shut off my wi fi and antivirus the dropouts are minimal (Just happen occasionally). I never used to have to shut wi fi or antivirus off. I have no problems with dropouts in Studio One 4.
