DaveMichel Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Wondering if there are any issues upgrading to Windows 11 concerning Cakewalk. Anybody tried it yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 It works more or less identically on my Win 11 machines as it does on my Win 10 ones here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I got a new laptop with a Ryzen 5700U processor in December that came with Windows 11 installed and it has been fine with CbB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andres Rubalcava Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Thank you to those of you that have answered. I am currently looking to upgrade my computer and of course this was a concern. Great that it works for you now, and I'm sure soon they'll have windows 11 upgrades as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I just switched to W11 with building my new computer. Lots of options for optimizing are hidden in different places now so took few day to sort that out. Then just when everything is nice and back to normal a Windows Update trashed dozens of settings I had gone to great trouble to make. Not only that it deleted every signal shortcut I had created in Windows for things like folders and the different hard drives. Gone. Even the Main computer icon was gone?? my audio settings got changed back to the Realtek which I had disabled. I haven’t had this kind of thing happen in a long long time. This is just like when W10 first came out all over again. This is W11 pro which I paid extra for because I was told you can customize it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft knows what you want better than you do, and they make it happen! Edited November 22, 2023 by hockeyjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 It broke some things for me, so it's not as DAW friendly as Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Windows 11 on my laptop works perfectly with Cakewalk straight out of the box - no tweaking at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Starting with windows 11 is probably pretty easy but upgrading to it I'm sure is a pain as far as getting all the plugins etc. to work in Cakewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Was that a major update that just happened? I’m really pizzd. Now I’m finding things I installed are gone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) the MS Edge and Defender products update fairly frequently as do runtimes due to bugs and other software installations. so after i see Edge open with "look at the new AI features we installed to better track you with" information page, the next thing i do is run the CW redistributables installer. 🙂 also after a version update on the OS. sometimes after software updates on Sketchup. also, depending on if you used hard or soft directory junctions - if you used soft version of the syntax, they disappear after a reboot...

John Vere Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 What's frustrating is this Computer is only a week old and you would figure a major update would have taken place during the set up. It's like it waited until I was up and running and did this. I had been manually running the updates every morning just for these reasons and experience with new builds from the past. It takes a few days for everything to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Yes that’s the update. 22H2. We hopefully that’s good for a year at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Wynn Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Been running 11 since early betas with zero issues at all. It was a painless update however some of your plugs will need reauthorization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOK Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 How to stop automatic updates on Windows 11 | Windows Central: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-stop-automatic-updates-windows-11 Look for "Disable updates completely"...a little bit down from the top of the page. Once this is done, you'll have to tell the machine to update manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Argo Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I've used Win 7 for almost 13 years, then switch to Win 11 after PC upgrade few months ago, skipping Win 10. Everything is running well. No problem with Cakewalk at all. Even my "old" audio interfaces run pretty well with Win 7 drivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
