ok, all is well! I think I know what happened. It amounts to, I think, user error(pretty sure). When I installed Cakewalk by Bandlab, there's a prompt that read, "Let's get started". This is where tell it about your inputs and outputs and select your preferred workspace (Basic, None, Advance). I truly believe that I clicked this off, on the previous first install, and went right into setting up everything via preferences(midi, soundcard, input, mic, blah). I think that's where I screwed up.

Once I selected my workspace at the, "Let's get started" prompt, the start up screen populated with the templates.

Just to recap; Clean installed.. followed directions... all is well.

Thanks everyone for your time spent on this. 

Now, can someone help me with moral of the story?

I knew this and checked; I don't even have a Project Templates folder... but thanks for your time.

 Thanks for the help. I'm going to try the clean install. I tried to just uninstall and then reinstalling nothing changed.

By default project templates are installed in C:\Cakewalk Content\Cakewalk Core\Project Templates

The template path used by the program is setup in preferences.
 

I knew this and checked; I don't even have a Project Templates folder... but thanks for your time.

1) Did you run Bandlab Assistant as administrator?
2) Did you run it in Internet Explorer or Edge? Those can give problems. Chrome is ideal, Firefox works with me.
3) Is there somehow access restriction on the templates folder?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Cakewalk.

 

I will try to uninstall and reinstall through Chrome. I think (pretty sure) I used Edge.

I just installed Cakewalk by Bandlab and my start screen, new project, is empty. I didn't change any file settings and there are no .cwt on my system anywhere.  I don't have any .cwt files in my, ":\Users\blah\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core". I can see the .cwb files on the demo screen. I've used Pro Audio since 4 so I know a bit. This is a brand new install on Windows 10 and my first time ever using CWbBandlab. Please help,  I'm trying to follow a tutorial and it's asking me to use empty project.cwt and I don't have any .cwt(Basic.cwt, 4 track.cwt ect..)

I included a picture of the start screen.

there's nothing in my would like to get going . 

I searched here using: No template, blank start screen, download .cwt and came up empty.

Thanks for your time.
