You're welcome! Good Luck!

Just now, I could not get CbB to freeze. I think the culprit is Microsoft OneDrive and CbB's default record paths. I paused OneDrive after the last freeze, then used Task Manager to get CbB (unresponsive) to close. So, this time when I ran CbB, OneDrive was already paused, and it did not hang up! I will check into the default record paths of CbB and see if I can assign them to a folder on another drive or location that is not being backed up be OneDrive.

Thanks for quick response. There is no Minidumps folder, so I guess CbB has always froze or hung up. Maybe it has never crashed before. I will try to get a dump file manually via Task Manager as in that article. Thanks for sharing!

In the two or three times I've tried to check out CbB so far, it has froze or crashed after a few minutes. Literally, every time. Hoping for some thought on why this might be. I'm only importing a few FLAC files recorded in REAPER. I'm pretty sure I've used WAV files too, same problem. No FX loaded on any track. No MIDI. No VSTs loaded. Just a few tracks of audio, that's all. Just playing back a few tracks and clicking around the UI, seems to cause CbB to freeze up or crash.

I normally use REAPER, but my band has decided to use BandLab to remotely create new songs between rehearsals. The BandLab web app is a little too sparse for my preference. I'm brand new to Cakewalk (well last used it about 16 yrs ago), but not new to DAWs. Been using REAPER exclusively since 2014.

If you don't need the onboard soundcard at all, then you should be able to completely disable it from the BIOS settings. This is a pretty basic option available in most BIOS options regardless of manufacturer. Many sources recommend to do this for serious audio work, just as you should disable onboard graphics when using an add-on graphics card. Disabling these options in BIOS could free up system resources and prevent inadvertent reassignment by the OS even after updates.
