Wrong bitrate shown.

I recently reinstalled Cakewalk on a new SDD and I noticed that wrong bitrate is reported in the Transport module. All my projects and audio files are always in 24bit. Cakewalk shows 16bit.

I even tried to reinstall but nothing changed. 

As long as audio is processed in 24bit that is not a big problem and doesn't affect my workflow or final results but how can I be sure?

The transport module shows the Record Bit Depth NOT the Driver Bit Depth.

 

Indeed, driver bit depth is NOT the same as audio file bit depth.

 

To OP: You need to go to Preferences/File/AudioData and toggle the File bit depths as needed. If your audio files are 24bits and the Import bit depth is set to 16, cakewalk is converting them to 16. If Import bit depth is set to Original, they will still be 24 even if the Recording bit depth is 16 (which makes the transport show "16").
